Lori York has been creating artwork for over 15 years in a range of media including
acrylic paint, colored pencil, watercolor, pen & ink and photography. Today
Lori's focus is primarily acrylic on canvas and she continues to actively explore new
subjects while creating new series of paintings.
Lori strives to capture a feeling and mood through her paintings, focusing on depth of
color, light and shadow versus the intricate detail that can be found in her colored
pencil drawings. She looks for objects and places that evoke a strong emotion.
While living in Canada she was immediately captivated by the calming effect of the
Inuksuit figures that dot the landscape of northern Canada. The soothing spirit of these
lonesome guides became a focal point for a series of
paintings.
Lori is also drawn to the simplistic and somewhat spiritual presence of solitary trees
in their natural habitat. Now that she has recently moved to Vermont, her journey to
expand her mood-invoking paintings will draw upon the natural beauty of Vermont’s
landscape.
Lori's original paintings have been displayed in galleries in San Francisco, Chicago,
New York (including at the United Nations), Madrid, Spain and Ottawa, Canada. Her
paintings are also in numerous private collections.
Additionally, Lori offers her artistic eye through a color consulting and interior
decorating service with clients in Canada and the US. She continues her fine art painting
and color consulting work now in Burlington, Vermont, where she lives with her husband and
daughter.
She is available for commissioned artwork and you may also visit her online gallery to see a sampling of her work.
