My great grandmother was a seamstress extraordinaire. Not something that landed in my genes, sadly, but there are so many stories of her and her prowess in that field. Her daughter, my grandmother, used to tell me, "we didn't have enough to eat, but we looked like a million bucks!!!" What did get passed down, however, was a sense of how to put it all together. My grandmother, with her penchant for polyester, could still put together a knockout look with pennies and plastic jewellery. My mother? Well...she taught all of us how to style. My mom's stylin' superpower was an amazing ability to mix fabric patterns and have it all come out looking cohesive. I grew up surrounded by houndstooth and herringbones, stripes, plaids and florals. This trip down memory lane was brought to you by a patch of sand in Death Valley that put me in mind of a snazzy, knife-edge pleat on a tailored pant.

Lori Ryerson is an award winning contemporary art photographer, based in Toronto Canada. Along with her presence at the Other Art Fair, Toronto Artist Project and the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, Lori's work has shown at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, the Paula White Diamond Gallery, Noodle Gallery, and Silver Sands Gallery. Her work is in several Canadian corporate collections, as well as private collections around North America. While her first loves are travel and landscape, Lori will pretty much photograph anything that catches her fancy, from architecture to zoo animals, and everything in between. "It is the act of photography that brings me the joy, rather than the subject matter," she says. "Photography allows me to escape into a quiet universe, where the only thing that matters in that moment is that space and time between me and the object of my attention." Lori seeks out little mysteries in the mundane, and searches for stories left behind in urban and ancient landscapes. In an increasingly noisy universe, she looks for ways to photograph silence. "Everything around us makes noise; the traffic, the phones, even the refrigerator hums! I want my work to provide people with a tiny, personal haven of quiet." Sixteen years of studying flying trapeze in the Toronto cirque community changed Lori’s perspective on the world. A lifelong exposure to Japanese art and culture gave her an appreciation for fine details, and negative space. In the decade since Lori started her photography business (Focalocity), she left the corporate world to pursue photography as a full-time artist, was accepted into the Ontario Society of Artists, Canada's oldest continuous-running society of artists and is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists. She enjoys speaking to other photographers in camera club presentations, and mentoring emerging artists. Lori now applies her 30 years of experience in written communications to this latest incarnation as a visual storyteller. Her camera is both her brush and pen as she continues to share her stories through photography.
