Natural ochres on Arches paper and canvas
Batik on silk using Drimarine K and Naphtol dyes
Painting lino block printed cards
Lorna has been working with the Ngaruwanajirri group since the group began in August 1994. Her work with natural ochres is lively and spontaneous and has a feeling of movement through use of full and flowing strokes. Sometimes the paint is transparent, sometimes opaque and thick. In general, Lorna's paintings are non-figurative, using lines dots and sometimes circles. Lorna uses the same elements in her work on silk.
