Painting has been a life-long passion of Loraine. Although she completed a course in Commercial Art, and studied art at school, her art is basically self-taught. She prefers to find her own style than to be influenced by others. Subject matter varies immensely: old cars, wild life, portraits, human forms, abstract art, etc. She loves the outdoors and photographing material for her next painting. She has painted will over one thousand paintings already. She has great admiration for Master Artists like Michelangelo.
Loraine's motto in creating art is: "When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art. Paul Cezanne".
