Lorraine originally studied pharmacy, and then discovered her passion for art through sculpture and painting classes. She went on to complete a Fine Art degree and has been painting for the last 20 years, often referencing elements of her past, in the form of biological cells or chemical/mathematical formulae, or the inclusion of an illusory three-dimensional space. She is fascinated by visual riddles and seeks to offer the viewer an experience that is open to individual interpretation. Lorraine’s landscape paintings have become increasingly abstract in the desire to find a new visual language and to explore the physical and psychological space beyond the surface of the canvas. Much of her work includes the polaric elements of chaos and control; using energetic gestural marks juxtaposed to geometric form.
