She has taught at the Art Institute of Boston and the Letterpress Guild of New England, and most recently worked in New Haven, Connecticut; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lucinda was born in Tokyo, Japan and has traveled widely. She received her BA in 1983 from Kenyon College in Ohio, with a combined concentration in English literature and photography, spent a year at Exeter University in the UK, and received an MA in literature from Columbia University in NYC. She established her own letterpress/design studio in Boston and in 1992 was accepted into the Graphic Design program at Yale School of Art from which she received her MFA two years later. At Yale, Lucinda explored the boundaries of the book form and, working in both sculpture and photography, built large and small “book” structures, and documented the progress of a tulip/word garden through the seasons.
