A retired air traffic controller, Lori Brietzke (“Lorelei”) has been painting in oils since her early teens. Her latest creation is a series of automotive vignettes done in a hyper-realistic style and sourced from photos she has taken herself. After spending the last 9 years in Alberta, Canada, Lori has returned home to the Grand Valley, and she looks forward to beginning a new series inspired by the natural beauty of the area.
