Hello, I’m Lori-Lyn.

I'm a writer and visual artist with an MFA in fiction writing and a background in studio art and theology.

My work often explores inner life and the moments of transition, awakening, and recognition that shape who we become. The impulse behind everything I make is the same: to express what insists on being expressed and to tell what is mine to tell.

I've always been more interested in living from my inner guidance than following the expectations of the dominant culture. Creativity is how I understand the world, make meaning, and move through time.

My work traces the subtle and dramatic connections that flow through people, nature, and the unseen dimensions of experience. I hope to blend the personal with the universal and listen in on a conversation between the ordinary and the numinous.

I publish fiction, creative nonfiction, and essays on creativity, intuition, and authentic living on Substack.

I'm currently at work on a young adult novel.

I paint acrylic on canvas and draw digitally.

You can find a gallery of my work here.

I share my work in the hope that you will recognize something of yourself in it and remember that beneath the noise and uncertainty of paradigm shift, there is a steady current of love that moves through us all.
