About Lorna

Hi. I’m Lorna and welcome to my colourful world!

Some women get excited about shoes… I get excited about paint!

I’m a Painter and Creative Mentor and I love all things colourful! My passion is to teach and empower others in creative ways- I adore experimenting with new, exciting techniques, using unusual materials and pushing creative and technological boundaries. I want to get you as excited about your creativity as I am!

I was born in Dumfries, Scotland, but raised in the remote and picturesque town of Stornoway in the Western Isles. I have been fortunate to live all over Europe and further abroad, and am now happy to call Australia my home.

I have a wonderful husband and grown-up children, as well as two gorgeous parrots and two French Bulldogs!

A little about my journey as an artist…

I received formal training in Islington, London, under the mentorship of Jocasta Innes, who founded the UK National ‘Paint Magic’ franchise. I studied Interior Design and Painting, and it was here that I became hooked on the magic of Stencil, Stucco, Marble, Trompe l’oeil and Furniture Painting. I soon became obsessed with colour and interior design! I then trained in Australia under Coco Republic, and have exhibited works in Central Coast, NSW, Sydney and Melbourne and I also create private commissions.

Join one of my fabulous workshops!

I offer unique, innovative and engaging workshops and classes to get you excited and passionate about your creative strengths. Whether you are a budding artist, an experienced aficionado or a novice who lives in fear of that blank canvas, I firmly believe that everybody can create- sometimes, it’s just a matter of confidence. Not only do I offer my own knowledge and expertise as a creative professional: I help you to realise your own strengths, so that you can pursue your creativity and allow it to change your life for the better.

As well as physical workshops, I now offer an online E-course platform with Lifetime Access– so that wherever you are in the world, you can be inspired and empowered! I also offer a 30-day Money Back Guarantee, so if you’re still not sure about taking the creative leap, you can try it out first. I’m that confident that you will love what I have to offer.

Here’s what some of my happy clients have had to say…

I had a such great day, lots of information to take in and a fun piece of artwork to take home!

Christine, Resin Art Workshop, Dec 2016

Lorna is an passionate, knowledgeable workshop leader who never fails to inspire me in any workshop I have taken with her. I would recommend this workshop to the individual wanting to ‘colour their world’ and the corporate groups wishing to build team spirit! It’s also perfect as a gift!…..my next workshop with Lorna is my Christmas gift to myself!

Joana, Alcohol Inks Workshop, Nov 2016

Such an easy, fun workshop working with such brilliant colours that flow into each other organically as the resin cures. I thoroughly enjoyed creating my unique Resin Art piece! And I haven’t done any painting or art previously so it’s perfect for beginners. Thanks Lorna!

Melanie, Resin Art Workshop, Nov 2016

I had a wonderful time! I was hesitant to start, but Lorna is a wonderful teacher and I brought home a piece I am totally happy with. Thanks Lorna!
