Lori Vynalek

My journey began after moving from a large city to a small rural community, population, 1,500.  My eyes became fully aware, for the first time in my life, of color, nature, and my surroundings. I was introduced to oil pastels through an artist in the community....and that was it!  As I began painting; shapes, patterns, and the female form just started pouring out of me. I am self-taught and feel I was uninhibited in my execution. Colors were coming from deep within my soul and I was loving every minute of it.
