Lori Larks

I’ve lived in the Bay Area most of my life with a few years in New England. I’ve always loved being outdoors enjoying nature, art, and sport. I enjoyed a career in community service, raised a wonderful son, and coached soccer for over a decade. For many years I also focused on photography. Currently my passion is in plein air painting and most of my work is done on site.

Artist's Statement

For most of my life, my work has been to help others find and be in that place that endures, that keeps us going amidst the strife during troubled times. Being in nature, with brush or camera in hand, allowing time to focus and be easily supports the peace and simplicity that is so easily missed in a busy life. It’s an absolute bonus when I ‘get’ a good result on canvas or with a lens. But the best part is just the being, the practice, and sharing with others the joy we can find in these moments.
