[4] Because Wallenrod had cerebral palsy, she painted with a special arm brace of her own design.

She painted dramatic expressionist seascapes with broad strokes and deep, vivid colors, as well as still lifes and portraits.

She also participated in numerous group exhibitions in the late forties until the early nineteen sixties.

She won a number of competitions, most notably the first prize in the National Art Contest sponsored by President Eisenhower's Committee on the Handicapped in 1956, for her "Ships at Bay".

Due to a long terminal illness, Lucille Wallenrod's output waned in her later years, yet her interest and sensitivity for the arts never faltered.
