Recent professional achievements include a Grand Prize Award from the show (re)Building, Atlantic Gallery, New York, NY and a recently appointed position as a Tier Artist at R&F Paints.

Her work is exhibited locally and nationally in galleries, museums, craft centers, schools, libraries, universities, and more. Lorraine brings to her teaching a strong interdisciplinary approach, mixed with a balance of concept, process, experimentation and discovery.
