Why does she want to paint?
Lorraine believes art can bring calm, reflection and meaningful emotional experiences into our lives. When she reached out to Excapelabs, that belief was the part of her story she especially wanted to share.
Nature is where she finds that peace herself.
“Nature has always inspired me, especially the moon, mountains and quiet landscapes. These are the places and moments that make me feel grounded and at peace.”

What was Beyond The Noise?
Beyond The Noise was Lorraine’s first solo exhibition in Karlovy Vary. It ran from June 18 to August 14, 2026, at the Cultural & Creative Center Vary&Te.
The show featured all the paintings in her online gallery except three. Her two latest works, Between The Earth And Sky and Castle, were not part of it. Neither was Rovigno Bella Istria. The original of that painting is installed at a restaurant in Croatia.
Maria Alina Asavei, an art curator from Prague, reviewed Beyond The Noise, and her review is on YouTube. The exhibition page has a gallery of the opening night and the full video of Lorraine’s opening speech.
