Inspired by the Wonder of Creation by Lucinda Shelton | Artist Printmaker

 

The Inspiration Story for The Immersion Series: Translating the Underwater Experience

Like a window into the soul or a door into a quiet underwater escape, a little island in the middle of the Pacific became inspiration. Daily swimming sessions viewing the calm fluid momentum above the water and under the surface inspired this new series of artwork. This sanctuary of natural wonder fully populated with the easy movement of vivid colors and patterns created a deeply calming feeling of weightlessness as I became one with the  peaceful momentum of flow and tranquility.  In the awe of nature's raw beauty we find a connection to the purest expressions of life. Every work of art in this series is inspired by that feeling of weightless tranquility.

 

A Printmaker Inspired by the Wonder of Creation 

“Just as the momentum of diverse symbiotic relationships ebb and flow in our natural ecosystems so also can we as a community work to appreciate and preserve our planet for generations to come. “

 

Lucinda Shelton is a formally educated American visual artist who is inspired by the wonder of creation in the natural world. She works to instill a sense of awareness, appreciation, and intrigue through artistic impressions of nature. Her creative process begins with observing nature and capturing photographic images that become drawings to form imagery that is then used in traditional and experimental methods of contemporary printmaking.

 

Her work has been exhibited recently at the VOLO Climate Correction Conference 2025 & 2024 and The 2024 Citizens' Climate Education Southeast Regional Conference: A Community- Centered Climate Future Art Show
