RANNA - A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

 
Australian born contemporary artist RANNA has exhibited in American, Australian, and European galleries and museums, including at premiere venues like the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia and Amerika Haus in Munich, Germany.

Receiving serious positive attention from reviewers, Lachlan has produced a prodigious and significant body of work (1). During her 30+ years of art making, Ranna has been one-pointed about her life's work. Her work has developed in a sumptuous but logical progression since the early 1970s when she completed her first stint of training at the Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, Australia.

Since those early days she has produced several major bodies of work, always pushing into new territory - technically, conceptually, and visually. Fueling her work, she has lived and worked in her native Australia, various parts of Asia including Thailand, India and Japan, and in the United States. While living in Japan she trained in koto, shamisen, shodo, and sumi-e.

Ranna also has two graduate qualifications from James Cook University, Australia, one in material anthropology and the other a studio-based PhD (2) in the creative arts, for which she produced an innovative synthesis of Asian concepts, synaesthesia, ethnomusicology, anthropology and the visual arts.

A significant achievement for a woman artist, Ranna's was the first studio-based PhD in Australia - James Cook University has made claim to having led Australia in introducing studio-based PhD degrees to arts training in Australia (see their web site) and Ranna's was the first submitted, leading the art field in Queensland and Australia

Lachlan currently maintains studios in the fabled northern Shenandoah Valley of the United States, about 1.5 hours from downtown Washington D.C., and in Australia's exotic Queensland.
