Lorraine Gilbert is an artist, an educator and graphic designer. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Biology and a Masters of Fine Arts. In the past twenty years, she has produced photographic works depicting gardens and urban landscapes, the results of forest harvesting in the West, and is presently working on several projects proposing ideas that make us reconsider the ties between culture and nature. Her work is at the crossroads of the issues raised by the increasing alienation between hi-tech culture and wild nature, which, as many insist, may not exist anymore. As a member of the artist-run center Boréal Art/Nature, Lorraine Gilbert has helped to organize international Art/Nature projects and 'domestic' residencies at the home she shares with two others on 100 acres of forest, field and lake. At the present, she produces Boreal's publications, from editorial work to design to pre-press. Her artwork is included in many private and public art collections, and has been exhibited across the country as well as in the United States, The Netherlands, and Iceland. She currently teaches photography and visual arts at the University of Ottawa and at Concordia University in Montreal.
