Through my vibrant oil paintings, I aim to capture the essence of gratitude and the joy of being alive.
My paintings are steeped in a sense of nostalgia for happy days. Because cherishing special moments helps us appreciate the passage of time and the importance of living in the moment...
...something I learnt the hard way.
Hi, I'm Lorraine, a 50 something cancer survivor, now full-time oil painter.
Art is my life's calling, born from a profound realization: time is fleeting, and life is our most precious gift. After a hard-fought battle with cancer—a journey that once had me planning my own funeral—I've emerged with an unshakable commitment to share my story through my art. Miraculously, after rounds of chemo and radiotherapy, I received the news I'd dared to hope for: 'tumour resolved.'
This experience, confronting the brink of life, ignited a passion in me to help others see the urgency of cherishing each day, to feel inspired to live with purpose and gratitude. Through my artwork, I aim to remind others of this simple truth: we have this one incredible life, and we owe it to ourselves to live it fully, joyfully, and courageously.
In honour of this journey and in support of those still fighting, I donate 10% of all my sales to cancer research, supporting the hope for a cure. My hope is that my work not only brings beauty into your space but also serves as a daily reminder of resilience, the miracle of health, and the richness of the present moment. Let’s not wait until life’s clock urges us forward—let’s live fully now.
With love,
Lorraine
