| Artist Statement: | Lorrie Boydston is a Contemporary suburban landscape and abstract painter from the Midwest. Her work expresses ideas about daily life in suburbia and explores related themes such as environment, spirituality, children at play, domesticity and time. Boydston often combines photography and paint as a reference to ideas of illusion and reality. Abstract grid works are a reflection of Boydston's interpretation of the redundancy and imposed structure of Suburban housing developments. The clear Plexiglas "canvas" on which she chooses to paint provides a fabricated surface that echoes the very subject of her paintings and allows a little light to shine through here and there. |

| Artistic Influences: | I am inspired artistically by the work of Eric Fischl, Edward Hopper, Wayne Thiebaud, Rachel Whiteread, Andy Goldsworthy because of the way they think about their subjects. Watching my children in honest play, living in the moment, was the inspiration for the main direction of my work. |
