Lorie Turpin

I have been an artist all my life but life got in the way and it's only been the last several years that I have really devoted myself to my passion. I paint in oil and draw and everything inspires me so I always have a list for my next paintings... in my head! I paint in the Academic Realism style after the Old Masters and I really do prefer it hence my love for capturing animals, nature, flowers and people. I find it very meditative and think of art all the time... I may be researching on the web... analyzing the colours I see in nature.... taking photos or.... painting!

I studied art in every school and have studied with a professional artist/photographer in the Classical Realism style of painting for several years.
