2025 Dawn Slade-Faull Award Highly Commended is Lorraine Neldner.
Working primarily with acrylics and markers, Lorraine creates richly layered compositions that explore tonal depth and intricate detail. Her work often reflects on the dualities of time, evoking quiet moments shared with her mother in the garden over cups of tea.
Our Trustee’s adored Lorraine’s ability to draw inspiration from the everyday and the familiar, weaving together the past and present to capture the emotional resonance of life. Lorraine’s works are poetic representations on belonging and connection.
Lorraine has exhibited widely across the Barossa Valley, regional South Australia, and Adelaide, including multiple group exhibitions at regional galleries and boutique wineries. She has been a consistent presence in the South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival for the past seven years and her work has been acquired for several private collections.
