Artist’s Bio
Lorraine is an artist whose works embody the light, mood, and atmosphere of the moment. Over the last 15 years, Lorraine’s paintings have captured the beauty of the landscape, sea, and people surrounding her home in coastal California.

She was accepted into a juried show of international artists sponsored by the United Nations and her work was displayed in Geneva at the U.N. Palais des Nations.
She is a juried member of the Oil Painters of America and the California Art Club and has had her work in the national online showcases for these organizations.

Always striving to learn and improve, Lorraine is dedicated to ongoing sessions with artists who can challenge her in positive ways. She has been privately trained in the impressionistic plein air style by other successful artists through workshops and individual lessons.

Lorraine currently splits her time between creating beautiful paintings and raising three beautiful children with her loving and supportive husband. Both bring true joy and happiness to her everyday life.
