| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
As a child it was the pictures on the Sunday School Lessons that I brought home each week. As an adult, it is the amazing work of the Renaissance and Baroque Artists, and all the Great Paintings since then that I have had the opportunity to see on exhibit or in literature. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
The awesome works of great artists before me gave me the passion to paint. The power of the medium makes me want to master it. The creativity in me makes me seek to do good work that is relevant to life today as I see it. I love to paint. |

Evelyn Lorraine “Lorrie” Warren Williamson (1939-
Evelyn Lorraine “Lorrie” Warren Williamson was born in El Dorado, AR. She graduated from Hendrix College in Conway, AR. She taught Art at Union Elementary School while living in Gallatin, TN, and began exhibiting and selling her paintings when she moved with her family to the western suburbs of Chicago, IL.
Lorrie’s paintings and sculpture have won numerous awards both at the state and local level. You might have seen her artwork in various local art shows in South Florida, or in the Hortt Memorial at the Museum of Art, Ft. Lauderdale; the Boca Museum Annual Florida Exhibit; or the Bonnet House Impressions of Florida; to mention a few. Lorrie is an exhibiting member of Florida Artist Group, Inc., an organization of selected artists throughout the state. Her painting, “Twin Towers” was judged “Best of Show” in its annual exhibit. Other noted accomplishments include the purchase of two of her paintings for the set of the movie, Blood and Wine, starring Jack Nicholson. Lorrie was the recipient of the “Encore Star Award” given by the Broward Country Cultural Arts Association for service to the community in the arts.
Lorrie taught painting in her studio in Fort Lauderdale, and served as a staff instructor at the Coral Springs Museum of Art. She moved her studio to its present location in Country Estates, Palm Beach Gardens, FL in 2006 and resides in Abacoa, Jupiter, FL.
Lorrie is currently an artist member of the Palm Beach Cultural Council, the Florida Artists Group, Inc., the Portrait Society of America, and the Boca Raton Museum of Art with Signature Membership in The Artists Guild.
