Lori Glavin’s abstract paintings, collages and monotypes are inspired by a fresh examination of the familiar. A neighborhood walk, the delicacy of a shadow on a wall and the observation of patterns in her home and in nature are all starting points for constructing an image. 

Her process is a visceral one: intuitive, contingent, and unplanned. She builds surfaces through addition, subtraction, scraping , layering and wiping away; often revealing surprises along the way. Working in several mediums – textiles, printmaking, collage, painting – encourages herself and the viewer to take chances.
