LORI LATHAM

Artist Statement

Lori Latham is an intuitive abstract painter living in Portland, Oregon. Her paintings have been placed in private and corporate collections internationally.

Lori is known for her use of color and skill at creating rich textural surfaces. Using a variety of non-traditional painting tools and experimenting with paint viscosities is key to her technique. The ‘happy accidents’ along the way light her up and keep her coming back to the studio.

Currently, she paints abstract landscapes and ‘Colorsplash’ paintings. By working back and forth between these styles, she explores how they influence each other.

“One of my greatest joys in life is painting. I try to listen to that little voice deep inside that gives guidance and support. I know I am exactly where I need to be when I am smiling, breathing deeply, and feeling relaxed.”

“Letting go of expectations and desires is challenging, but the joy and freedom of “anything goes” is worth the risk every time.”
