Hi. I am Lori Ann Lashley. A native of Central PA., I currently live in Delaware.
My journey into painting all started with the help of my High school Art teacher. I learned about many Art forms, but really took an interest in painting and different painting techniques. My teacher saw my enthusiasm and nurtured these interests, by taking me to Art-related seminars and encouraging me to participate in every local Art Exhibit she could get me into. She also arranged for the sale of numerous commissioned pieces, in order to help me gain experience with doing commissioned work. I was permitted to spend all my study halls in Art class, learning as much as I could.
It was during this time, that I discovered Jackson Pollack's paintings. His Expressionist style was an inspiration to me, and that started me on my journey.
Painting has always been an emotional release for me, and a welcoming friend when I wanted to get lost in an alternate world.
I have been an Abstract Expressionist painter my whole life, but recently discovered Fluid Painting. I love the freedom that comes from making Fluid Art, as well as Expressionist Art. Painting is my Cardio and my Therapy! I welcome you to join me on this colorful (and sometimes winding) journey.

CREDENTIALS: Aside from the training received in high school art class, I am self-taught. I have been painting for over 43 years and I am also professionally trained in all aspects of proper picture framing, including Conservation framing.
