My name is Lorraine Schiller
I've been an artist my whole life
and a mom the past 5 years.
My life is messy and beautiful; full of adventures and paint splatters, teaching the alphabet, potty training, Veggie Tales, breaking up arguments over who had the toy first, etc. And in the midst of tons of energy coming from a 5 and 3 year old, there's so much beauty and joy!
My pre-children art was extremely time consuming and detailed. My perfectionist self was weaved into each piece and I could get lost in time creating. I was always deep in thought and emotional during this artistic process.... annnnd that all had to change when child number one came. And it was the best thing that could have happened to me as an artist!
Now my work mimics my beautiful messy life. I create art in my "studio" (okay a tiny space on my kitchen counter) while watching my kids. My paintings are created in a day, and the process is often messy and imperfect. However, I have so much fun while creating and love adding detail at the completion of the painting. Just like many of my days, my art process is messy, but in the end, beauty emerges!
For me creating art has always been therapeutical as well as recreational. I process a lot and a story or message always comes along with the finished piece of art!
Being an artist for many years, creating quality art is so important to me. Even though my process is different than it used to be, I do put lot's of love and thought into each painting. I love painting with acrylics and and using many layers of paint for texture and to achieve bright, bold colors. I create my paintings on wood cradled panels and finish them with a beautiful gloss to make the image pop!
