Biography
A life lived in fusion. Born to English and Filipino parents, lived and breathed the philosophy of a fusioned outlook from birth. It wasn’t until later in life that she realised the impact of what this truly meant. From the food she ate, the people she encountered to the absorption of entertainment and the arts, the differences most people perceive from an early age were barely discernible as differences at all. Monthly trips to London as a young girl were vital in opening her eyes to the world at large. The concept of traveling far and wide was not a daunting prospect for her, taking many trips abroad on her own from her mid teens feeding her wandering spirit. Time growing up was spent absorbing mass media and creating. Whatever she could get her hands on. From making dresses out of pillows, drawing on scraps of paper on rainy days, memories of her mother singing in a choir, snapping away on her first camera after being in awe of her Great Uncle; a former Photographer, playing make believe in her back garden and adoring her Grandmothers wardrobe, to being transfixed by the music video explosion in the 80s and imitating her favorite movies and shows as seen on TV.
Her greatest formative years came when she spread her wings and made her move to London to study Fashion Design. Lorraine comes from a long line of Tailors and Dressmakers from Europe & Asia. On moving she took every chance available to her to expand and deepen her passion for the creative arts. Modeling for photographic shoots, illustration classes, TV & catwalk, studying her Fashion Masters at Central Saint Martins and her Batchelors at London College of Fashion, photographing, drawing and even a period of time working in theatre. As well as being predominately involved in Fashion design, styling and trends since her first fashion assignment at Matthew Williamson over ten years ago. Working every spare moment to support herself and fuel her devotion to her interests with many and varied part time jobs under her belt. Most recently exploring the realms of publishing, film (a revisit from the old cutting room days on her art foundation), branding and web design. With her first collaborative interactive Flash website ten years ago and has been blogging in various guises since.
This independence was crucial and to this day Lorraine immerses herself in visual arts, using the skills she has gained along the way on a daily basis. She is on a constant search for new opportunities to extend and develop her knowledge and skills. With a planned return to Fine Art full time at the conclusion of her career sabbatical in 2012.
