Lorri Barman has been
involved with art most of her
life and for the past ten years
she has given it a full time
commitment.
^ A native of NewVork, she
studied there at the Brook
lyn Museum, Five Towns
Music and Art Foundation,
and under Mr. David Friend,
nationally known artist and
author.
She came to Charlotte fif
teen years ago and since L
Joe Sklut
Lorri Barman&hnsband Marvin
then has received a degree in
Commercial Art — Advertis
ing Design from CPCC and
also pursued the fine arts
programs there. She studied
at UNCC, Spirit Square and
is currently advancing her
art education at Winthrop
College.
Lorri primarily paints on
canvas and uses a variety of
media. Her imagery depicts
her response to the subject
and is done in whatever
medium that can best con
vey the reaction. Geometric
forms are the dominant ele
ments in her work and they
are often combined with
organic images. She is fas
cinated with architectural
subjects and responds to this
in a unique way. Although
they are based on reality, she
readily admits that the only
place they exist the way they
appear on the canvas is in
her own head. Lately many
abstract qualities have
entered her work.
In addition to painting,
drawing is another favorite
art activity, and recently she
has been enthusiastically
exploring sculpture. Another
area in which Lorri has done
much work is art history.
She believes it is one of her
most valuable tools.
As a free lance commercial
artist and designer, Lorri is
currently designing for
Willy Works, Inc., an inter
national knitwear company.
Her work has been regu
larly exhibited in both North
and South Carolina and has
won a variety of awards,
including a prestigious na
tional honor for a represen
tative body of work. Some of
the award winning paint
ings will be on display, and
the exhibit will focus on the
range of work she enjoys the
most.
