"Some call me a consumate artist. Never fixed I'm constantly exploring new ways to manipulate metals to express movement, to manipulating techno icons into jewellery such as I've done in my 'laptop' ring, or wandering through a garden at a construction site and feeling compelled to create a bracelet that reflected that opposed environment."

"Freeform has particular appeal to me. Like a paintbrush, a charcoal, a crayon, a pen, I use line only to keep the eye moving around my work, no beginning, no end, a journey, a poem, sometimes dramatic, often humorous each piece tells a story - about me, about you."

Lorraine is interested in connecting with metalsmiths, contemporary jewellery designers and object makers.
