My Philosophy on Art

Lori Hope Zeller

Lori Hope Zeller


With a texture, art can move the eye and yet it has the ability to move the soul. My work is meant to bring the viewer into an emotional swirl to question containment yet scream with expression. My mediums: Mixed Media, Pumice on Canvas, Acrylic, Collage, Graphite and Water Colors. 

The following artists have been a source of inspiration: Jackson Pollack, Sam Frances, Joan Mitchell, Hans Hoffman, Alberto Burri, Gustavo Ramos Ramirez and Lianghong Feng and Squeak Carnwath.

Career Highlights:

   2018:  FSU Museum of Fine Arts exhibit “Waging Peace” – “Love+Tolerance = Change” (Art below)

   2018:  LST Nature Photography Exhibition: Special Recognition

   Publication: “Golden Moments” included in “Art Students League of New York on Painting: Lessons and Meditations on Mediums, Styles, and Methods” Watson-Guptill: New York, NY p.211 (Art Below)

 
“Love + Tolerance = Change” was accepted in the Waging Peace exhibit at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts. The work was created in response to the Paris Bombings in 2015.
