For the past 40 years, Loriann has worked as a landscape painter. While her preferred mediums have always been oil or pastel, her methods, techniques, and aesthetic aims have all undergone significant transformations since she began.
She learned her craft in the studio and outdoors. She received a BFA from Swain School or Design, and an MFA – under full fellowship – at American University. Since then she has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Her work is included in public and private collections throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. In the past few years, she was featured in the Plein Air and Home and Design magazines and the book Drawing 365.
