Lorie Ofir

I am an artist from South Florida. I live on flat land, but I paint mountains. I have emotional connections to places that are only physically far away. This dichotomy has moved me towards my current series of paintings titled "Hybrid Landscapes". Sitting on a horizon that one can never reach, each piece is an impossible world: an overlap of different colors, objects, weathers, textures, and terrains that may not normally exist together, as well as the feelings experienced while being in the presence of these natural wonders.
