From Land To Sea and More
20190422 - 20190617
From Land to Sea and More is a varied exhibition of paintings and textiles covering scenes of Cornwall, Devon, local landscapes and townscapes in the UK and abroad.
Lorraine always enjoyed art from an early age, painting and making fabric and embroidery pieces. While living in Australia for a short while she obtained a Diploma in Printed Textile Design before returning to the UK.
She still enjoys textiles along with her love for painting, having started in watercolours, then oils, acrylics, pastels and other media. These days she often combines painting on fabric and then embellishing with fabrics, beads and other bits and pieces.
Her work is inspired by the harbours and coastal scenes of Cornwall and Devon, local landscapes and townscapes. The initial impression and excitement of a scene is captured in sketches and photos, sometimes executed on the spot, otherwise in her studio. A variety of media can sometimes be used to interpret the finished piece.
She has been living in Berkshire for many years where she has a studio and participates in Open Studios most years, including this year. She also exhibits at art exhibitions and in local companies.
