Invisible Movement

Hi,

A good collection of my paintings are currently up at Strawberry Fare in the heart of Wellington. It's a dessert restaurant. That means, as well as the usual food, it has the best cheesecake possible! Trust me, I've tried it.

Check out a feature I had on the largest unofficial John Frusciante website, Invisible Movement: http://www.invisible-movement.net/2009/10/six-paintings-by-lorraine-tyler. The John and Flea painting in particular seems to take on a different feel, now that John's left the band (amicably, I must note).

My next major exhibition is coming up at The Southern Cross, a restaurant with a specialized gallery space in Wellington. It'll run from the beginning of April to the end of May. Doug Sehnert, another Wellington artist, will be showing his art too. It'll be a fun-filled, bold display. And don't forget the mouthwatering texture. ;)

Now that I have a few specialized paintings temporarily not on display, I've decided to put them on trademe.co.nz (New Zealand's home for online auctions and classifieds). Interested in rugby or rock'n'roll? Go and take a look!

Artist's Statement

I'm inspired by the positivity in mankind; no matter how bad or strange a situation is, many people are still able to see the good in it, and that's what feeds my creativity. While I like to paint landscapes and objects associated with rich memories and sensations, this artwork is currently centred around people. My subjects live stories that inspire me; I learn something from each person that I'd like to share with viewers. Sometimes I see the images in dreams, but more often I'll look at something or someone that is outwardly ordinary and my mind and heart will know just which colours, textures, and shapes could describe what has captured to me. I'll know whether a subtle watercolour technique or bold oil paints will work best. Those who have inspired me have helped me to grow and I'd like to help others by sharing my journey as well.

Inspirations
Australian swimming sensation, Ian Thorpe, is someone I don't really know much about, but I know that once he admitted he wasn't necessarily a talented swimmer; instead, he just worked really hard for what he achieved. I've remembered that and have slowly absorbed it over the years.
