Lori Paskey | ARTIST’S STATEMENT: I capture images with my camera, and then challenge myself to recreate those images using soft pastels, charcoal, pencil, or oil paint. I have a love affair with each new medium I try, and find it difficult to box myself into one category, as there are so many colors, textures, and patterns to explore. I currently enjoy working in mixed media, using combinations of cold wax, oil, pastels, papers, and mark-making tools, pushing them to see what happens. I’ve incorporated ash, soil, and sand into some of the pieces. Nature is an ever-present influence in my life. I start each day with hot coffee in hand and ideas afloat in my head. BIO: Lori Paskey has been a resident of Meadow Vista for 28 years where she has a studio that provides her with a calm, peaceful environment.
