Lori Bradley combines diverse mediums to obtain subtle and powerful nuances of color and texture in her layered compositions. She uses the idea of landscape as a metaphor for the human experience - the longing for permanence and connection with the mysteries of nature, the stratification of generations and culture, and the experience of beauty as wisdom. Lori shows her prints, ceramics and mixed-media compositions nationally.

"I work in acrylic paint and textured mediums, printmaking, and ceramics, merging media and elements into highly textured collages. I'm investigating visual framing within the picture plane, rather than applying a superficial frame not specifically related to the content of an image. Framing emphasizes, preserves and elevates small moments. I spend my time collecting and preserving small moments."
