ABOUT
Lori Ryker has been making art most of her life. She is inspired by the natural world around her. Her work focuses on the manifestation of beauty and exploring how we experience the natural world and express these experiences through the things we make. She works in multiple mediums, most recently in oil and chalk pastel.
Lori has received numerous awards for her creative work, including from the National Endowment for the Arts, and a State of Montana Artists Innovation Award.
Lori makes her home outside of Livingston, Montana, and travels widely exploring the world. When not in the studio making art, or traveling, she can be found designing for studioryker, or dreaming up new projects to engage people in the natural world through the non-profit she founded, Artemis Institute.
While in graduate school at Harvard she divided her creative time between architecture and monoprint processes. Following are some work pulled from the archive.
