Hope in the mangroves
Mixed media and acrylics
This mixed media work integrates gelliplate printing, collage, and painting to explore the fragile ecology of the mangroves near the artist’s home. Drawing on personal history, the piece reflects Lucille’s childhood memories of following her father through these tidal landscapes, alongside her enduring connection to the she-oaks of Paradise Point.
Through layered textures and organic forms, the work evokes both the delicacy and resilience of these coastal environments. It speaks to the interplay between memory and place, inviting the viewer to consider the quiet significance of these often-overlooked natural spaces.
