Lorraine Coll

I am a Contemporary Abstract Artist based in Derry, Ireland. I graduated from Manchester School of Art and Design with a degree in Textile Design with print design being my chosen specialist subject. 

 I worked as a self-employed Artist in Manchester for many years before returning to my birth place in Derry in 2013. After taking a career break from working in the library Service I decided to return to painting, building my studio at home and balancing life as a full-time mum to my little boy. Although my love for Textile design is strong, I’ve found ways to bring this to life through canvas painting. Through my love of designing and creating surface pattern I have transferred my skills through the use of various mixed media and I believe this is portrayed throughout my work. I don’t specialise in any particular style of work as you will see from my portfolio. I paint what comes naturally to me and I believe in painting something for everyone. If you would like to find out more about me or my work please get in touch or visit me in my studio in Derry.
