Born in
Québec province, Canada, Lorraine P. Dietrich received a Bachelor's Degree in
Fine Arts Teaching from Université du Québec à Montréal (1975) and has been
drawing and painting with transparent watercolours since 1988. The public
appreciates the serenity of her paintings, whose dynamic, yet romantic
compositions are based on observational drawings and combined with glowing and
permanent colours on high quality papers. Flowers are her main inspiration
because of their diversity, sensuousness and symbolism often related to the
blossoming of life. She also paints still life subjects.
Her
paintings have been exhibited in many countries and have won awards from
eminent jurys in Canada and other countries. In 2012, she won the Grand Prize
in Painting from Canadian Brushstrokes Magazine. In 2012, she was awarded Best
Floral Realism and other awards by AAA. In 2010, she was awarded First Prize in
Watercolour ant won other 4 international awards from the American Art Awards.
Twenty-two countries participated and the Jury was 25 top notch galleries in
the USA.
Selected as
Finalist many times at their International Juried Exhibition at Kent Art
Gallery, New-York area, she became in 2001 the first Signature member elected
outside the USA by the North East Watercolor Society, a national organization.
Her works are part of collections in Museums in Québec and private/corporate
collections in America, Europe, Asia. She also had a recognition as a “Master
Painter of the World” by the famous International Artist Magazine in its
Canadian section. A flower has her name: “Hémérocalle Lorraine Dietrich”, a
floral hybrid by D. Harrisson, horticulturist. Her works are exhibited on a
