A familiar thread started to run through each finished piece whether still life, landscape, portrait or figure.  Lori’s artistic voice migrated to dramatic illumination as a concept for a composition, to paintings that are atmospheric with a focus on light and shadow that express a quiet mood, whether solitude, melancholy or romance. 

It’s the quiet drama she’s after with a touch of elegance. 

"Most of my studies have led me to a specific palette and concept that I concentrate on for these pieces. I generally percolate on an idea for some time before I have that moment of realized momentum; the inspiration for these paintings."
