Lorraine Roy’s presentation is: “Call of the Heartwood: My Creative Journey with Trees”.

Like many of us, she was introduced to fabric arts at an early age. This was the start of a long, creative journey that led to the full-time career in art textiles. Lorraine has been working as a professional artist in the textile medium since the mid 1980’s. She earned a BSc in Agriculture, majoring in Ornamental Horticulture, and has been studying developments in tree research since graduating in 1978. In Lorraine’s work she draws upon her background in science to create images in fabric which evoke the strong connection she feels with the natural world. Most of Lorraine’s wall pieces are inspired by the biology, mythology and symbolism of trees, classic emblems of the communion of earth and spirit.

Her work can be seen at the Carnegie Gallery, and the Hillcrest Studio, both in Dundas, Ontario and the Westland Gallery in London.  And, if you go to her website, you will see her amazing work as well.
