About Australian Artist
Lorraine Brownlee
“I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. My father was a talented graphic designer in the film industry but it was my mother, a gifted amateur artist, who taught me to how to draw.
Growing up near the sea at Clovelly, in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, my first love was the ocean and seashore. Although I studied art and design at school and University, my life took a very different direction but I never lost my desire to observe nature, be inspired by it and create unique designs from it.
When I moved to the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains 25 years ago, I developed a great love for plants and flowers in all their intricate beauty. One of my favourite things is drawing the native plants which I see every day in the bush around my home.
I do my best to observe nature and capture what I see in my initial pencil drawings. I then enhance the delicate, intricate shapes, lines and patterns to bring out their magic. By the time I come to the final pen drawings, I have turned natural form into pattern and each unique design seems to flow onto the paper, almost on its own.
I love drawing but I understand that you may not or you may feel that you can’t draw. Not everyone can create something on a blank page but everyone can experience the joy and sense of deep satisfaction that comes from colouring to create a beautiful work of art.
My passion is to create unique, high quality designs for you to enjoy. You can frame them just as they are or you can express your own ideas of colour and beauty, with pencils or pens, as you hand colour the drawings to make them your own.
My hand drawings are just that – drawn by my hand to colour with yours.
I hope my work will inspire your own sense of wonder and delight.”
