Lucinda Leveille
Since childhood, my dream has always been clear: to become an artist. Inspired by my father, who nurtured my creativity and taught me to see the world through an artist’s eye, I began painting at a very young age. At just 15, I was accepted into the prestigious National Art School (formerly East Sydney Tech) — an extraordinary opportunity that allowed me to immerse myself in art, technique and creative theory for five years. After graduating, my family relocated to the Gold Coast and I began exhibiting my work. But in those early days, a harsh rejection from a gallery owner shook my confidence and caused me to step away from my art for many years. I drifted between jobs that left me unfulfilled, but the dream of becoming an artist never truly left me. Eventually, with the encouragement of friends and loved ones, I returned to painting. This time I approached it with resilience, maturity and a deeper sense of purpose. That decision changed everything.
Today, I work as a full-time Australian artist based in Queensland, creating original oil paintings and landscape art that explore the beauty of nature, light and movement. My practice is prolific — I often paint from dawn until evening — and I treat each canvas as a chance to capture fleeting moments of calm, wonder, and connection. My focus is on landscapes, skies, trees and clouds, though I continually experiment with mark-making, abstraction and drawing to bring spontaneity and vitality into my work. Oil paint remains my preferred medium, offering depth softness, and an emotional resonance that suits the themes I explore. I also create smaller watercolour artworks as part of my Collectors Secret collection. These pieces are intimate, affordable and perfect for gifting — each one beautifully gift-wrapped, making them a meaningful keepsake or a starting point for new collectors.

Blue Dusk is a painting I created as part of the “Songs Of The Sea” series, which holds a special place in my heart. In this piece, I aimed to capture that serene and almost magical silence that envelops the beach at dusk. It’s a moment when the waves have quieted, and even the sand seems still, with barely a ripple on its surface. As I painted, I felt the blue hues wrapping around me, inviting moments of deep self-reflection and tranquility.
You’ll notice that each of my paintings, including “Blue Dusk,” is signed on the front with my name, Lucinda, and every piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
My paintings are created on gallery-style stretched canvas, which means they don’t require framing and the colour continues around the edges. They are ready to hang right out of the box.
When you receive your artwork, it will be carefully cocooned in bubble wrap and packed in a sturdy cardboard container to ensure it arrives safely at your home.

The Long Quiet sits in the space where weather has already spoken and the land has absorbed what was said. Nothing is arriving, nothing is leaving. The painting holds that moment of suspension that follows movement, when the air has settled and the ground feels steady again. It is not a dramatic stillness, but a deep one — the kind that carries memory and weight.
This work grew out of a long engagement with open landscapes and subdued horizons, places where the eye can travel without obstruction and the mind can slow. The land here is not described in detail; instead, it is suggested through broad planes, muted colour, and a restrained structure that allows space to do the work. The emphasis is on atmosphere and presence, rather than narrative. What matters is not what happened before, or what might come next, but what remains.
Accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, this is a one-of-a-kind oil painting.

Night Sensations is inspired by the evocative verses from The Phantom of the Opera. Dominated by soft shades of deep teal and rich indigo, the composition is alive with swirling clouds that seem to dance in the twilight sky. The clouds are layered and textured, creating a sense of depth and movement; some areas are wispy and ephemeral, while others are bold and billowing, exemplifying the way night unfurls its splendor.
Framing this enchanting scene is a beautifully crafted oak floating frame, its warm wood contrasting beautifully with the cooler tones of the painting.
Each piece is signed on the front with my name, Lucinda, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its originality and quality.
My commitment to detail and quality is evident not only in the choice of artist-grade materials but also in the thoughtful packaging that ensures your artwork arrives safely and in excellent condition.

At The Edge Of Quiet where in the open country the storms don’t arrive all at once — they gather, shift, and hover at the edge of sight. This painting holds that pause, the moment when the land is still bright but the sky begins to fold in. The gums stand lightly but stubbornly, catching what light remains as the storm rolls toward them. It’s a landscape about waiting, about the calm before change, and the way light endures even as weather builds.

A lone bare tree stands on a windswept hill under a deep teal storm sky. A line of fence posts runs into the distance, casting long shadows across dry grass. A large bank of pale cloud pushes in from the right, creating a contrast between light and approaching weather.
A quiet hill, a single tree, and a line of old fence posts holding their place as the weather gathers. This painting sits in the moment before the change — where the land waits, listens and endures. The stillness in the grass and the weight of the cloud capture that fragile pause between calm and storm, a place where resilience shows itself in the smallest shapes: a leaning post, a bare branch, a path that doesn’t ask for attention. Along The Posts is a study in quiet strength, distance, and the way the landscape remembers the passing of time.
Accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, this is a one-of-a-kind oil painting.

A soft road winds through pale fields and hills beneath a sky shifting gently from light into storm. The horizon holds a quiet weight, the air still but charged, a moment suspended before weather changes direction. This landscape reflects the calm that arrives before clarity — a place where distance softens and the world seems to hold its breath.

Awakening The Darkening Sky sits within the quiet tension of a moment before weather breaks, a moment that is familiar in the Australian landscape, yet endlessly shifting in its emotional tone. A heavy sky gathers above the open ground, and the light across the hills has begun to dim and thicken, as though the land is holding its breath in anticipation. The faint track that winds upward through the slope is the only suggestion of movement, drawing the eye gently toward the distance and the possibility of change. In this work, the track becomes less a literal path and more an echo of presence, a trace of where someone has passed through or may return to again. It invites the viewer to step into the scene without insisting on it, leaving room for interpretation and memory.

Surrender is a graphite drawing created on Bockingford 535 gsm watercolour cold-pressed archival paper, ensuring its durability and preservation. The concept for this piece has been developing for some time. After completing the initial drawing, I felt compelled to create a companion work that would deepen the narrative. The theme embodies the emotional shift from the fight to survive to the quiet acceptance of surrender, a powerful and reflective journey.
The drawing is signed on the front and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its originality and quality.
