The Firehouse Arts Center is excited to feature the work of Lorraine Wells on the PAL Wall from September to October. Working in watercolor, this presentation on the second floor will include 14 of the artist’s works.
Born in the San Joaquin Valley and raised in Salinas, California, Lorraine Wells currently resides in Dublin, California. Her career started with a box of Crayola crayons and advanced to painting 4×8 sheets of plywood for her sign maker step-father. Wells learned the art and craft of brush lettering, gold leafing, and silk-screening at his side, and earned a BFA in design from California College of Arts and Crafts (now CCA) in Oakland, California.
Her career has included graphic arts, advertising, marketing logo, and furniture design. Wells’ fine art career has included watercolor, oil, acrylic painting, ink, and pencil drawing, which took a backseat to her commercial career until retirement. Having a lifelong love for the constantly changing California landscape, the artist attempts to capture this in the fluidity and transparency of watercolor. Wherever possible, Wells enjoys including elements that offer a local character her paintings, while including an element of her design background.
