Lori Vonderhorst – paintings

The Winter of
Acrylic on panel, 24 x 12
$1,700 SOLD
Lori Vonderhorst’s thoughtful compositions draw you into a world intimate with nature and abundant with personal symbolism. Her father was a printer and “ad man” and her mother a graphic artist, so she was surrounded by paper, paint and ink — materials that fed her creativity and define her still.
I’m drawn to the Northwest’s mystic landscape; the lush forests and stormy tides. Influenced by my surroundings, my drawings and paintings focus in on the immediate and intimate: feathers, stones and nests; narrative compositions that invite the viewer to imagine the before and after; the moment a feather falls, a stone tumbles or a flower turns to seed.
A self-taught artist, I worked in graphic design for 45 years. Now retired, I spend my days in the studio amid stones, shells, objects and artifacts collected throughout my travels. Whether drawing, painting or creating assemblages, my work is an intimate visual response to experience, emotions and memory.
Born in New Jersey in 1958, Lori has lived in Washington State since 1979. She is an award-winning fine artist and graphic designer. Her work has been exhibited and collected throughout the US and in Canada.

I would go out to my garden and find something in bloom for each painting, pairing it with the perfect little glass container.
I am inspired by things in nature and their metaphors in life, such as a nest with delicate fragments of eggshells, or a flower in various stages of growth, to tell a story or focus on a fleeting moment in time.†Lori V.

Her paintings are dreamy and rich narratives: delicate bird eggs, flowers, twigs and vines twist together as if embracing; alluding to a story, a memory, a moment.
