Lori Glavin
My process is a visceral one: intuitive, contingent, and unplanned.
My abstract paintings, collages and monotypes are inspired by a fresh examination of the familiar. A neighborhood walk, the delicacy of a shadow on a wall and the observation of patterns in my home and in nature are all starting points for constructing an image.
