Lori Meeboer: Colour in Landscapes, Acrylic -Thursday Art Night
Lori Meeboer: Colour in Landscapes, Acrylic -Thursday Art Night
Starts: 7:00 pm
Ends: November 6, 2025 - 9:00 pm
Location: DVAC ZOOM
Description: DVAC Thursday Art Night Events - Lori Meeboer, Colour in Landscapes, Acrylic
Where: on ZOOM
Lori Meeboer will present on the topic of the importance of colour, how to create a colour and composition journal and the importance of colour theory.
We will create a colour experiment together.
Lori will also talk about the importance of developing your unique style.
As a gallery curator and exhibition judge, Lori can also answer any questions you may have about gallery representation.
Bio
Lori is a Canadian fine artist living and working in Corbyville, ON.
Her strong, bold and colourful style is intentional, meant to reflect the rugged Canadian landscape. You may also notice a similarity to stained glass mosaic. Lori’s semi abstract mosaicism style has, in part, developed as a result of her work with glass.
Lori attended Trent University in Peterborough and has been studying and honing her unique style for the past two decades.
Lori is heavily influenced by the Canadian Shield, a significant part of her childhood. An avid kayaker, Lori shoots most of her reference photos from kayak trips in Canada. Every piece is created with deep admiration for the natural beauty in this world and it is Lori’s hope that it evokes strong memories of your time spent in the great outdoors
