Lorraine was born in London. She discovered her love for the landscape during her years as a young student in the West Country, and took up art at a later stage. She studied sculpture for 9years before completing a Fine Art degree, before turning to painting full-time.

Lorraine's paintings often incorporate a physical or illusory three-dimensional aspect. Her style has become increasingly abstract, in order that a looser visual description affords a broader interpretation and a greater sense of visual journey, slowing down the experience and allowing the viewer to explore and connect with the artwork on a deeper, more personal level.

Lorraine is inspired by experimenting with new media and technique. The main subject matter focuses on the landscape, which is informed by her scientific and musical background, and often references rhythm, form and intervals.
