My name is Lorrie, I live on the South Coast of the UK just outside Chichester in West Sussex with my husband Luke, and daughter Orla. Having trained in the 80s in Art & Design, and Fashion Textile Design in London, I have been working freelance for the past 20 years or so in London and on the South Coast.

My art is generally abstract, fairly vaired in style and influence, incorporating the themes of nature, and easily recognisable for my bold use of colour and form. I have many influences, from Pop Art to Impressionism and I find it impossible to confine myself to only one medium. I specialise in drawing and illustration, using both traditional mediums and digital. I also paint on canvas using acrylic paint. I create mixed media pieces using embroidery, and am a keen photographer. The majority of my work has been commision based for private collections. My portfolio, Illusio Creative features recent work.

I sell my work online from my own ecommerce site, Art4Sale selling original art, paintings, illustrations, mixed media pieces, fine art prints, postcards, aceos, gocco prints, photographic prints and fibre art/textile art. I also offer a web design service to small to medium sized business enterprises. I am available for commissions and am currently planning a solo show later in the year.

I am the editor of the Chicheser hub of Creative Boom magazine and also part of the editorial team for UK Handmade, an online magazine featuring the UK based Artists, Designers and Artisan Crafts.
