(PROVENANCE NOTE: It is common that reviewers unilaterally employ variants of an artist's name, regardless of the correct name. Over time, numerous variants of Ranna's name have been employed by reviewers and arts writers: In particular, articles prior to 1993 generally refer to her as Ranna or Ranna Hale. Subsequent articles after 1993, published and unpublished, refer to her as Ranna, Ranna Lachlan, Ranna-Lesley Lachlan, or Dr Ranna-Lesley Lachlan (PhD), or variants of these depending on authors' unilateral choices. Typically artists have no choice in the matter [!!] despite their requests to such authors. 🙄)
