Lorraine Simms explores our relationship to the natural world in a wide range of media. Over the past thirty years, her paintings, drawings, and sculptures have focused on representations of plant and animal forms. Offering nuanced reflections on our relationship with nature, she considers our responsibility towards animals and the environment in works that are materially rich and firmly rooted in process.

Lorraine Simms has exhibited her work across Canada and the U.S., with notable solo exhibitions at major institutions such as the Canadian Museum of Nature (Ottawa), the Redpath Museum (Montréal), and the Illingworth Kerr Gallery (Alberta). She has also participated in prestigious artist residencies at MASS MoCA (Massachusetts), the American Museum of Natural History (New York), and the Symposium de Baie-Saint-Paul. Her work is represented in prominent corporate and museum collections, including the Musée des beaux-arts de Baie-Saint-Paul, Beaverbrook Gallery, Doris McCarthy Gallery, Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, Bank of Montreal, and the Banque Nationale.
