A Message from Lori About Her Process

 Update 2024:  2024 Samuel Marsden Collegiate Artist in Residence. During my five-week residency I worked alondside students providing classroom workshops. We designed and completed a luminous installation for the college Matariki festival.

Designing art allows us to notice, record, interpret and respond to the pattern, rhythm and colour of our landscape.

 Starting with a simple pencil and paper, I  observe the pattern of the landscape,  capturing it in a series of drawings to recompose, cut and collage into a final image.  Using gouache paint on cotton rag paper, I often tip forward the perspective to create detailed layers in each composition.

I am an artist and designer creating original and recognisable work. I use quality gouache paint on Saunders Waterford cotton paper.

Some personal highlights and events I have participated in:
