About
Elucidate - make (something) clear; explain.
Lucidated is a documentation of my journey to knowing myself & reconnecting with what brought me joy as a child—the acts of creation and exploration.
It’s a space to create, document, expand on, and share my creative work—and by extension, the ever-changing thoughts, experiences, and inspirations that shape it. While the presentation and style of my work is always subject to change, it will always be human, and all that being human entails.
This is for you if:
- you want to follow a creative journey and the thoughts and experiences that shape it
- you enjoy art, knowledge, and novelty
- you're a multi-passionate person
- you want one or a combination of the last three points from—what I believe is—a unique perspective

How you'll receive my content
Besides this website that hosts all my posts, I have
- Letters, my numbered creative archive newsletter that I write to keep track of how my creative work, its influences, and myself as an artist develops over time. Letters can include updates on my creative work and influences, works-in-progress, condensed blog posts (published or yet to be), life updates, process insights, and anything else I feel needs sharing. This is sent out once or twice a month
- Brochures, my numbered interest-archive newsletter that I send out once or twice a month. They're curated posts of knowledge and topics that I'm currently interested in and want to talk about. I may expand on certain topics in standalone posts
- Announcements, my newsletter that will only be used on any occasions that I have any announcements. This is what you sign up for if you want to know about all finished work, events or upcoming shop launches.
Recent posts will always be linked at the bottom of each Letter, Brochure, and Announcement I send to you.
Thanks for reading :)
Hope you decide to stick around.

About the author
Hi, I'm Luminnelle! I'm an African-American multi-passionate creative based in Atlanta, Georgia. My main disciplines are digital painting, illustration, and writing. I also enjoy novelty, so I like to experiment with and learn about different mediums, practices, and their ways of exhibiting creativity.
