K. Lorraine Graham is a poet, mixed media artist and diviner inspired by everyday life, family history, and the oracular. She creates a mix of abstract and representational pieces that evoke introspection and self-analysis. Growing up all over the world in Papua New Guinea, Chile, Mexico, China and Maine, she’s been drawn to art and language since childhood. After studying east Asian studies and Chinese at George Washington University and getting an M.F.A. at the University of California, San Diego, her work evolved into a blend of poetry and mixed media works on paper. She’s the author of The Rest Is Censored (Bloof Books) and Terminal Humming (Edge Books), and an artist book of drawings called Semiotic Squares (Primary Writing). Her work has been shown at the Umbrella Art Fair, Kreeger Museum, Stable Arts, and But, Also.
