Hello, I’m Lori-Lyn.

I’m a writer and artist.

My work lives in a space where the visible and invisible meet.

I create to remember.

I write about longing, relationships, culture, and the mystery of being alive. Much of my work explores inner life and the moments of transition, awakening, and recognition that shape who we become.

The impulse behind my writing and my visual work is the same: to express what insists upon being expressed and to tell what is mine to tell. My paintings and illustrations often emerge intuitively, the way a poem does.

My creative practice allows me to trace the subtle and dramatic connections that move through people, nature, and the unseen dimensions of experience.

I hold an MFA in fiction writing and have a background in studio art and theology. My life is an ongoing attempt to bring the cosmic and the grounded together in the same space, the personal blending with the universal, the ordinary conversing with the numinous.

I share my work in the hope that readers recognize something of themselves in it and remember that beneath the noise and uncertainty, there is a current of love that moves through us all, linking us together, a chain of burning stars.
