Lori Garner is an award-winning colored pencil artist whose work has been accepted into international and national juried colored pencil competitions. Her latest achievement was being juried into the prestigious Colored Pencil Society of America’s 16th Annual Exhibition and achieving Signature Status from the same organization. Signature Status is awarded to CPSA members who have been accepted into the competition three times during a 10-year period. Lori’s work has been exhibited in galleries in Santa Fe, NM; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, WA; Coupeville, WA; Dallas, TX; and Brea, California. In addition to her awards, Lori’s work has also been showcased numerous times in Ann Kullberg’s on-line colored pencil magazine, From My Perspective, as well as being the featured artist in the “Member Profile” section in May of 2007. Lori was also chosen as Artist of The Month for Scribble Talk; a colored pencil on-line magazine. She also created a step-by-step colored pencil lesson for the on-line site, “The Colored Pencil Challenge.” Lori is an entirely self-taught artist. She started drawing as a toddler—in fact at age two and a half she created a pretty nifty drawing of Mickey Mouse! She worked entirely in graphite until discovering the medium of colored pencil in 1997. Learning through trial and error, Lori loves experimenting using different techniques, papers, pencils and styles, but her goal for each drawing remains the same: to create a drawing that tells a story, or one that evokes a feeling or invites the viewer to take a closer look. Lori is available to teach workshops about colored pencil to all skill levels from beginning to advanced. Just use the Contact link to inquire about her availability.
