In September 2011 Lorraine is Feature Artist at The Old Schoolhouse Gallery where she is a Member and the immediate past President.

She paints daily in her studio and says the joy of painting sustains her because the mind is so engrossed with the work in progress, it is like meditation. Her work in the Queensland Maritime Museum is a painting of Lorraine’s Great Great Great Uncle ... Matthew Flinders the Explorer. It was painted for the 1999 Bi Centenary Celebrations of Matthew Flinders, for his circumnavigation and his naming of Australia. The Artist has exhibited widely in many galleries in Victoria before coming to reside in Queensland and has achieved many awards. Her work has been collected Interstate and in Europe and America.
