Ever inspired by her own favorite master, Claude Monet, Lorraine’s peaceful works in colorful idealized realism give viewers a place to relax and reflect. She is known for her vibrant colors, high contrast, and detailed patterning, as well as dexterity in depicting shiny and reflective subjects. 

“Watercolor is an exciting, but sometimes exasperating medium. Give yourself time to learn all that it has to teach you. Taking workshops and classes from a variety of teachers is a good way to learn the medium and helpful in finding your own watercolor voice.”

It’s safe to say Lorraine is running with the big dogs—and she’s consistently adding more to the pack! With years of teaching watercolor under her belt, she loves to pass on her vibrant techniques and love for the medium. 

“The best advice I received was to believe in myself and to keep painting. Becoming a ‘master’ at your craft does not come overnight, it takes years of learning and practice.”
