Lori is a textile and multi-media artist, living in Nanaimo, BC. She is largely self-taught and has benefited from workshops with local and internationally known artists. She is an active member of the Surface Design Association and Fibre Art Network. She enjoys experimenting with different techniques including painting, dying, rusting, heat distressing, silk fusion, needle felting, machine and hand stitching. She also likes to work in a series, exploring the west coast landscape through her art.
StatementMy journey in fiber art began with commercial fabric and representational work and has evolved to an exploration of abstract art and incorporating unconventional and recycled materials. The diversity and simple beauty of Queen Anne’s Lace and thistles are an endless source of inspiration for new materials and techniques.
