Artist Statement

The purpose of Lori's work is to express how tranquil, spiritual settings offer respites from often chaotic urban life. She interprets the scenes with a high degree of detail to draw the viewer into these playfully unpredictable yet comforting worlds. Her work is meant to not only represent the unique beauty of each particular view but also to evoke the sensations of an openly observant visitor in these settings. Lori strives to immerse the viewer in the momentary freedom experienced in these intimate but shared locations.
