Aloha!

I’m Lorie. I retired to the Big Island of Hawaii in 2017 after a 30-year career in law enforcement and was immediatelyinspired to renew my love of creating fine art, how could I not be while living here, right?! I began by learning to create realistic flowers from clay. During Covid, I began painting again, after a 40-year hiatus lol. At this point, I work mostly in acrylics and collage but have been dabbling in oils again as well.

When I am not in my art studio or the galleries, you can find me in the ocean scuba diving alongside my husband or paddle-boarding with friends. Aloha is not just a word; it is a mindset and a practice in Hawaii. My goal is to infuse every brushstroke or petal creation with aloha.
