Each of us carries with us a rich reserve of images, experiences and emotions. For me, those images and experiences include nature, events happening around me, current social issues, happiness, grief, loss and joy to name a few. As an artist, I express those images and experiences by putting charcoal, unique papers, fibers, string, ink, paints and just about any materials that move me onto paper and layer with textures, shapes and color. My goal is to tap into what is within, bring it forward and create a work of art through the use of different mediums that can be shared with others. Because art is personal I ask my viewers to see what resonates with them as they view the work.

Hi There! I wanted to thank you for taking the time to view some of my paintings. Thanks to Memorial Hall Library for allowing me to display my art work. Watercolor painting was something I always enjoyed. Fifty years ago, I took a certificate art program in Boston but never found time to pursue my interest in watercolor painting until the pandemic. I wanted to use what talents God had given me, so I went out and bought paper, paints, and brushes, and started to paint. Like I say, it’s never too late! I paint a picture a week.

The historic mills of Lawrence have been repurposed and are revitalizing the city. Under their majestic facade lies a storied past. These mills are a point of civic pride for the city. Having stood for almost 200 years, they are a mainstay of our community. Perhaps as we look at this collection we can see ourselves as part of the greater community that surrounds these structures. We could try to understand our neighbor, instead of thinking we know them based on the language they speak or the clothes they wear. This understanding could lead to unity, and unity could lead to equality. From there, the possibilities are endless. Please visit my website to see more photos and purchase custom prints on metal.

As a photographer, I attempt to describe moments in transition while observing the complexity and vastness of the land, people, and objects within constantly changing conditions. For these brief moments, time stands still for eternity. Form and function welded, bolted, and stitched together for speed, comfort, performance, and safety. My car photography illustrates the exquisite precision of bent metal and chrome to conform to a designer’s vision for the efficiencies of aerodynamics combined with the beauty of timeless style. Within this series, I use the camera to highlight and celebrate the industrial precision of car design both in its abstraction and the transformation cars undergo in different lighting and environmental atmospheric conditions.

Hi, my name is Lori J. Cutter. I’m an abstract fluid artist. I’ve been intrigued by how different color combinations can complement each other. When I was young my dad loved my odd-looking finger paintings so much that he hung them up on the walls. I use different fluid art techniques in my paintings and sometimes I incorporate more than a few technique combinations in one painting. I’m self-taught and I customized my own fluid paints. When the painting is done and dry, I use a protective layer of clear gloss urethane for long term, nonfading finishes.
