Collection: Lorna Livey

Lorna Livey is a graduate of York University’s Faculty of Fine Arts. Her works on paper utilizing printmaking and mixed media have been exhibited in solo and group shows across Canada, including the Burnaby Art Gallery, Whitby’s Station Gallery, and the New Brunswick Museum in Saint John. Her work is included in many corporate and public collections. Well-known as a teacher and Master Printmaker, Livey has worked with Open Studio, Inner City Angels, community arts groups, and individual artists. She has also written and illustrated four travel memoirs.

Livey’s Glow Series started in 2006, marks a transition from figurative imagery to atmospheric abstraction inspired by views from airplane windows on journeys all over the world. The lines she adds to the blended rolls create tension in the work, a push and pull between the solid and the nebulous. The art is a focus for meditation, spirituality, and timelessness
