BIO
Canadian artist Lori Burke draws much of her inspiration for her work from her inner voice and the pull of the human connection. A self-taught, ‘intuitive’ artist, she honed her craft through research and workshops.
From a very young age, Lori felt a strong affinity for the creative process and this soon evolved into a serious, life-long passion for painting. And, while she attributes her gift to strong intuition and a deep connection to the soul, one cannot deny the fact that she also comes by her craft, quite honestly. Her great-grandmother, sometimes referred to as a Canadian Grandma Moses, was a well-known artist who painted and exhibited her work well into her 80’s.
Originally from the Horseshoe Valley ski area, north of Toronto, this full-time, internationally recognized artist now resides in a picturesque waterfront town in Ridgeway, Ontario, where, more often than not, she can be found in her home studio working on one of her well-known nature-inspired series. While her primary medium is acrylics, she often incorporates mixed-media to enhance the movement, grace and drama ever-present in her work.
Lori is continually working on new pieces for competitions, collaborations and commissions. She is also committed to giving back to her as a former board member with the Fort Erie Arts Council and teaching art classes to patients in the Walker Family Cancer Center in St. Catherine’s Hospital, Ontario.
