LORNE WINTERS
"Throughout the pandemic, I’ve walked in all weather through forests and fields. This outdoor time is what saved my health, my family and my mental wellbeing. Everything I learned about the world has been delivered through the landscape. My art is about that inseparable connection between the figure and nature. I am increasingly merging the two both visually and emotionally."

My mission as an artist is simple. I look for beauty wherever I can find it and portray that vision in a painting. If I have done well, I will once again experience what I felt in the original vision.
