I have been an Artist since a young child

Paintings by Lorie Turpin

I am an artist and always have been. I loved all that colouring in grade school!

Then on to high school and my art class was life changing because the amazing teacher taught us so many different ways to create art. We learned sculpture, both with clay and plaster; we did lithograph on metal and leather; wood carving; painting; drawing; you name it we did it.

From there I went on to college and drew my very first “nude” model!!! Wow! That was an eye opener! (she says with tongue in cheek!)

After the kids needed me less I took up drawing and painting again (and pushed aside the sewing, crocheting, knitting, crafts, etc,. etc.)
