These selected bodies of work trace the development of Lorraine Simiana’s contemporary Australian art practice across painting, sound, installation and material experimentation. Each project has expanded her exploration of identity, voice, belonging and women's lived experiences.

From early explorations of memory, belonging and sound to figurative painting as a primary language, the work reflects an ongoing investigation into what is seen and unseen, expressed and withheld. Recurring concerns include identity, vulnerability, silence, human connection and the emotional forces that shape lived experience.

While the materials and forms have evolved, a persistent concern connects the work: the interior states, pressures and silences that shape how we experience ourselves and the world around us. These projects form an ongoing practice in which each body of work builds upon and deepens the questions of the previous one.
