About Lorraine
Lorraine Simonds is an award-winning watercolor artist and educator known for her expressive, emotive portraits. She is an International Brand Ambassador for Rockwell Art Canada and Golden Maple, BC Representative of the Canadian Branch of the International Watercolor Society and an Exhibiting Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, with a history of successfully showcasing her work in juried exhibitions. She has served as a juror for international watercolor competitions, including the annual Women in Watercolor International Juried Competition, and her work is held in private collections worldwide. Her artistic journey began in Plymouth, England, where she first learned to draw from books and practiced on the vast, rugged English Moorlands. She developed a love for portraiture through acrylics and oils and later formalized her understanding of contrast, focus, and composition through film photography at Plymouth College of Art & Design, before earning a BA in Fine Art from the University of Leeds. She has also studied under the mentorship of Thomas Schaller, refining her approach to composition and storytelling. Beyond traditional fine art training, Lorraine’s creative lens has been profoundly shaped by a multifaceted career in branding, marketing, photography, graphic design, and interior design. With years spent curating visual narratives, designing spaces, and composing striking imagery, she brings an acute awareness of composition, value, and storytelling to her paintings. Her experience playing bass guitar in bands has also influenced her work—just as music relies on rhythm, space, harmony and even dissonance, Lorraine approaches painting with a keen sensitivity to movement, contrast, and balance, ensuring each piece feels alive and resonant. A deep admiration for traditional Chinese art also informs her approach, particularly its economy of brushstroke, expressive linework, and philosophy of capturing essence rather than mere likeness. These influences are evident in her signature style—loose, atmospheric, and richly textured, with an intentional interplay between control and spontaneity, presence and absence. Through her work, she seeks to capture the essence of humanity—the beauty, vulnerability, and quiet resilience that unite us all. Each portrait tells a story, not just of a subject, but of a moment, a feeling, and a life fully seen.
