Lori Korkola

Painter

Artist Statement

I am a landscape painter who uses images from hikes and my travels into out of the way areas for my artwork. I paint in acrylics, and my paintings reflect my interest in the lakes and forests that surround us. I have a contemporary approach to the classic subject matter of landscape.
