Lori Heston


I recently got a call from Lori Heston, a local Lake Elsinore Artist.  She needed a headshot for a book project she is working on.  She also wanted digital files of some of her artwork.  
As you will see below, Lori is quite the artist!  The ten pieces represented here are beautiful examples of her work.

Lori Heston lives in the historical California town of Lake Elsinore. The constantly changing moods of the lake and mountains is an inspiration to her creative process. She lives with her life partner of many years and her lab "Duke". Ms. Heston has three adult daughters and a granddaughter.
For many years Lori Heston worked as a graphic designer and art director and has several well known logo brands to her credit, including an internationally well known product logo. During her commercial career she's continued producing fine art pieces with a continuing interest using new unusual materials in unique ways. The present collection of her pieces largely consists of paintings done with printing inks and letterpress foils on paper coated with a very fine clay. Printing inks are intensely saturated pigments suspended in nonwater-soluble varnishes that are transparent and they must be applied with a palatte knife or similiar tool. The transparency of the ink reveals the drawing beneath.  The foils adhere and the total is a vibrantly colored piece of artwork.
Ms. Heston has written several short plays that have been produced at a community college and at a small community theater involved with both a reperatory group and a writer's guild. She notes that plays are word pictures that move and change through space and time.
