Artists statement
Lorraine Nelson was born in Mooroopna in NSW. She was separated from her mother at two years old. In her mid-twenties, she returned to her Aboriginal community, finding her family and people again. Through her involvement with the Aboriginal Catholic Ministry, she discovered her culture and artistic abilities. In 2003, Lorraine graduated from the Art and Design course at Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE. Lorraine’s paintings are about spiritual healing and her return to the Aboriginal community. She has taught and exhibited widely throughout her local community and Melbourne.
