“She creates works that balance direct observation with intuitive mark-making, capturing both the visual character and emotional essence of a subject.”
Lori Aleman is a Southern California-based artist whose work in pastel explores the expressive interplay of color, texture, and light. Drawn to the medium’s tactile nature and versatility, she uses pastel to create works that balance direct observation with intuitive mark-making, capturing both the visual character and emotional essence of a subject.
A dedicated plein air painter, Lori often works outdoors, responding directly to the ever-changing atmosphere, natural forms, and shifting light of the landscape. The diverse environments of Southern California serve as a continual source of inspiration, informing her interpretation of place and her deep appreciation for the natural world.
Rooted in a lifelong commitment to artistic practice, Lori’s work reflects a thoughtful exploration of mood, movement, and presence. Through layered color and expressive texture, she seeks to convey not only what is seen, but also the experience of being immersed in a landscape, inviting viewers to connect with the quiet beauty and fleeting moments found in nature.
