My name is Lorrie Whittington. I am a 40 something year old mother to daughter Orla, and wife to Luke. We live on the South Coast of the UK in a village near Chichester. I trained in the 80′s, undertaking a Foundation programme in Art & Design, and then a Diploma in Art & Design, from there  studied BA Fashion/Textile Design + Women’s Studies in London.

In the late 90′s, and early 2000, I went back to study and gained an International Diploma in Administrative Management and an HNC in Business Studies. I hold various vocational qualifications and awards.

I specialise in drawing, painting, fibre art and photography using tools both traditional and digital: ink, pencil, pastels, paints, embroidery, photography. My work is abstract in nature and includes many influences from the Baroque and Roccoco to Pop Art. I take my inspiration mostly from nature. I sell my work mostly online and through Galleries and most of my work is in private collections. If you are interested in my art, you can view recent work on my portfolio and art blog.

I am the editor of Chichester Creative Network magazine and also part of the editorial team for UK Handmade, an online magazine featuring UK based Artists, Designers and Artisan Crafts. I also contribute the occasional article to Creative Boom Magazine.
