Lori’s adventurous spirit took her to some of the remotest parts of Australia over many years of her adult life but she returned to her place of birth in the early 1990’s and began painting her vivid and intricate watercolours of the local flora and fauna. Lori is self-taught and has developed her own unique and exacting style, perfectly suited to depict the finely detailed and intricate textures and hues of the bush that she loves. Lori has won many awards for her works, which can be found in private and corporate collections right throughout the world.

Her paintings have been exhibited in Perth and the Southwest of Western Australia and throughout Ireland where she lived for some years until her return to Western Australia in 2003. A very well received exhibition of her works was held at Oscar Wilde House in Merrion Square, Dublin at the invitation of the Australian Embassy. This exhibition enabled Lori to show off a little of our southwest heritage to representatives of many nations of the world. Also whilst in Ireland, Lori’s exquisite paintings were entered into Ireland’s prestigious national Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ) – ‘Open House’ Artist of the Year Award, where she won 1st Runner Up.

Lori leads a busy life back in Perth, where she paints and teaches her special style of art to students ranging in age from 4 to 84. Her many current projects include a series of paintings for Lord Rosse of Birr Castle in County Offaly, Ireland, depicting many of his most rare and endangered species of flora from around the world.

Lori is also illustrating a childrens' book she has written on the nocturnal animals of our southwest bush.

In her ‘spare’ time Lori is kept busy with commissions and welcomes inquiries from this website.
