BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Lorie created Earthworks Pottery producing high fire porcelain that was exhibited in shops and galleries across Western Canada. While living in Larnaca, Cyprus, Lorie began to explore other mediums to express her creative passion. She began with Mosaics and then painting emerged. Lorie now works from her studio overlooking Lake Okanagan in Penticton, British Columbia. It is here that she discovered the beauty of watercolours to express her love of nature.
Lorie has studied at several art schools including the University of Alberta, Banff School of Fine Arts, Red Deer College and Metchosin International School. Furthering her love for art, she has attended many workshops to advance her skills and techniques.
Lorie belongs to a group of local artists that gather once a month for critique sessions. She is also a member of the Penticton Art Gallery, Penticton Arts Council, Shatford Centre, Naramata Art Studio Group as well as the Federation of Canadian Artists.
