More information about Lorraine Gill
Lorraine has lived, studied and painted in Spain, England, France, Italy and Australia. Lorraine has also been the subject of chapters in two books devoted to exceptional women, has had a television documentary of her life and work produced by the BBC, and appeared with Henry Moore in a feature one-hour BBC television documentary on the work of Cezanne.
One of Lorraine's most significant accomplishments was being invited by the Australian Aboriginals to live with them on their settlements as an 'artist in residence'. They befriended and protected her and knew her affectionately as "that women with them sticks" - her pencils and paintbrushes.
Lorraine’s work is owned by a growing list of influential international collectors and institutions:
- Prince Philip of Liechtenstein
- Tony Buzan, best-selling international author and speaker
