About
the Artist
Lorna was born in Edmonton, Alberta and
moved to Calgary in 1972. Her studies in art began in 1967 at
the University of Alberta. Stylistically and perhaps spiritually,
Lorna relates to the “neo-Canadian” style of painting. Her dedication
to the Canadian landscape is accompanied by the use of harmonious
design. Compositions are created through a fascinating fusion of simplified
shapes, forms and colours. She works in a variety of mediums and styles,
using oils, pastels, watercolours or acrylics. Her work has been shown
both locally and nationally for the past ten years and she has been
the recipient of numerous awards through juried exhibitions.
She is a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (SFCA)
and The Pastel Society of Canada (PSC). She currently has representation
in three commercial galleries and has recently been published in The
Best of Canadian Pastels and Pastel Artist International.
