Don't think, just paint!
Hello, I'm Lorraine
Expressive artist. Joy maker. Colour lover.
Milton Keynes based artist creating vibrant abstract paintings that celebrate colour, freedom and everything that makes life worth living.
"I painted my first abstract painting in 2003. Faced with a blank canvas I wondered where to start and the guy standing next to me said 'Don't think, Just Paint!'"
"I was hooked immediately. Hooked on the freedom, the spontaneity, the joy of letting go."
My paintings are driven by intuition and emotion. I read tarot cards and love finding meaning in the hidden and the overlooked. I like to weave found papers and ephemera into my work. Each of my paintings holds a story that unfolds as you look at it.
Art is my joy project. The place I go to let go of thinking and just feel. That energy goes into every piece and I truly believe you can feel it when you live with the work.
I paint from my studio at York House in Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes, where I also run community and corporate art workshops. I've shown work at an exhibition in Milan (2023) and had my artwork featured on Michael Grey's Birkenstock collection.
My mantra
"Don't think, Just paint."
