Lorraine Parker

Lorraine aims to visually capture the essence of our diverse environment and to communicate this visually. Her background in design influences the underlying structure of her work. She has a fascination with colour and loves placing and manipulating textiles that evoke a sense of nature, place, time or timelessness and to transport the viewer into their own experience. Lorraine believes that a work is successful if it connects and “speaks” to the viewer, evoking emotion. Lorraine is a trained Quilt Art Judge with the British Isles; 2019. She has entered several juried Quilt Art Exhibitions both in Australia and overseas and sold many pieces of her work. Her teaching and sharing of her skills is very strong on her agenda.
With a background in teaching and lecturing in Secondary and Tertiary fields, her teaching and sharing of her skills remains very strong on her agenda.
 
Art Practice and Materials

Lorraine's curiosity in using the many forms of textile materials; fibre, yarn, fabric and non-woven and her experimental approach to finding new techniques have resulted in an eclectic, broad range of work, both small and large. Techniques of applying colour through surface dyeing, painting and printing as well as manipulation of yarns and fabric combined with free motion machine stitching add texture and expression to Lorraine's work.
