Lorraine Simonds
Squamish, British Columbia
Lorraine Simonds is a watercolor artist and art educator known for her expressive, emotive portraits. She is an International Brand Ambassador for Rockwell Art Canada and Golden Maple, BC Representative of the Canadian Branch of the IWS with a history of successfully showcasing her work in juried exhibitions. She has served as a juror for international watercolor competitions, including the annual Women in Watercolor International Juried Competition, and her work is held in private collections worldwide.
Lorraine’s creative lens has been profoundly shaped by a multifaceted career with years spent curating visual narratives, designing spaces, and composing striking imagery; she brings an acute awareness of composition, value, and storytelling to her paintings.

My art is a dialogue between contrasts – light and dark, clarity and obscurity, emotional tension and relief. Rooted in my Chinese heritage and Western upbringing, each portrait delves beyond mere likeness to capture the essence of mood and feeling. My creative process is deeply human-centric, drawing from personal interactions.
