Lucinda was born in 1996 at Alice Springs but grew up in communities across the western Northern Territory and Western Australia. Her father’s side is Luritja while her mother’s side is Kukatja, both part of the Western Desert Language Group whose vast lands stretch across much of the NT, SA and WA. Lucinda’s mother, Kathryn Nangala Njamme, is an artist and ranger who showed Lucinda all of her country growing up, fostering in her a deep connection with the land. Lucinda’s paternal grandmother is Eileen Napaltjarri Anyama, a senior artist at the Ikuntji Art Centre in Haasts Bluff.
