Lorraine Burns was born in Melbourne. After completing a course in dressmaking, she began a career as a seamstress, but in 1990 the urge to paint became strong and she enrolled in a course in tonal painting as a hobby. In the next year, she won her first art prize which encouraged her to develop her talent as an artist. Lorraine now works full-time in her studio.

The crisp bright colours and children having fun at the water's edge is the focus of many of her paintings. Lorraine draws inspiration from the Sunshine Coast beaches, particularly Mooloolaba for her beach scenes. She endeavours to capture a sense of playfulness that is typical of children when they "hit the beach" with their endless energy and joyful laughter.

Since her first award in 1990, Lorraine has won in excess of 130 awards and commendations including "Best in Show" in both the Frederick McCubbin prize in 2001 and the "Year of the Outback" at Balranald in 2002. Within the last 2 years she has won numerous awards and commendations.
