Lorraine-Lee Tyerman, Self Portrait (PORTRAIT 2022)

I don't like being in front of the camera, and I'm happy to be the one taking the photos. My son's have mentioned that there are never any photos of me at any special occasion. I wanted to challenge myself, and show the different facets to my personality. Music is a large part of my life, learning to play the violin is my latest challenge. I also wanted to show my happy nature, I'm always told that I have a smile on my face, and I like to laugh a lot. My third photo I wanted to show the thoughtful side of my nature. I love my quiet time to read, and ponder how fortunate I am in my life to be a survivor of a variety of adversities I've faced, which I have overcome.
