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 a studio in the fabled northern Shenandoah Valley of the United States, about 1.5 hours from downtown Washington D.C., and one in New South Wales, Australia.
