Lorraine W Trenholm

Lorraine W. Trenholm

Fine Art


Lorraine Wallace Trenholm was born in New York, where she lived until completing studies as a painting major at Pratt Institute.  She has done drawings and paintings for dog events and people with equine interests since high school. Several of her drawings and pastels have appeared on covers of the Saluki Quarterly, a breed specialty magazine.  Her paintings are in private collections, in the U.S. and abroad.

Lorraine resumed painting and showing regularly in 1984 on Cape Cod, MA.  She
creates landscape paintings, inspired by Cape Cod, road trips, and the Southwest. She has also developed a flair for animal artistry, doing pastels, oils and collages of dogs and horses.  She has been juried into the Art Show at the Dog Show in Kansas, several times, and has won awards in oil, pastel, and collage. Lorraine joined the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod the year it was founded, and was juried in as a signature member that same year. Her pastels have received many awards, including BIS, in national competitions. She is a member of “21 in Truro”, the Chatham Creative Arts Center, and a signature member of both the Pastel Society of Colorado and the Pastel Society of New Mexico.  She has had several one woman shows.  Saluki clubs nation-wide have commissioned her to do artwork to be used as trophies for their shows.   In 2000, one of her saluki collages was used on the catalog cover for the prestigious Santa Barbara Dog Show.  Lorraine has studied with Lois Griffel and Henry Henshe of the Cape School of Art in Provincetown and attended the Vermont Studio School.  Her artwork appears in Lois’s book, Painting the Impressionist Landscape, and in Kennedy Publishing’s “Best of America-Pastel Artists and Artisans, Vol. 1”.   more
