SANCTUM
Porcelain Paintings by Loralin
Engrossing in their tangled luminous images,
these works are reminiscent of those private observational moments when one is in nature and there is a becoming....
so present and magical.
I imply
sacredness of even the most minutiae of my memories of botanical existence.

MAKING
Though usually I call myself a 'sculptor', this winter I devoted myself to just painting.
For a few years now I have been obsessing on the ground floor of forests and gardens. My imagination takes off on its own expressing in a whimsical fantastical style.
Not long after I began painting fungi, insects and flowers I discovered the Forest Floor paintings of Otto Marseus,
and other Dutch flower masters. Among what I am drawn to is their lively botany, their darkness and the prey/predator scenes.
Each of these porcelain paintings are made freehand with china paints that are layered and fired in a kiln.
Many of these works have 5 layers or more. Once each painting was finished I crafted a custom wooden frame to fit. The frames are handcut, sanded (SOOOO much sanding) and assembled, Finishing includes uv protection and dust prohibitive seal. The fanciful frames were intended to reference cathedrals, great houses and churches,
places some worship in...places of 'value'. But isn't the natural world so much more valuable?So much more necissary for survival itself?
June 16th: P.S. Four paintings are already sold before show even opens tonight...If you see a painting you love....
well you know what to do. Click on postcard above to go to show and link to the gallery for sales. If you asked me, (and you haven't I know!) I would tell you to buy Solitude or Potentia. I could barely let those two out of the studio.
Enjoy!
