"Often metaphorical, my paintings echo the delicate balance between nature and humanity, serving as windows to the imagination. Rooted in the traditions of Tonalism and Impressionism, my work reflects a tonal impressionist sensibility that blends classical techniques with a modern approach.While plein air painting out in the field, Mother Nature is in charge. In the studio, I create my own small universe, responding to the effects of color, light, and atmosphere. My paintings evoke a quiet sense of nostalgia while remaining timeless, offering viewers a connection to the enduring beauty of nature. In a chaotic world, I hope my work provides a place of respite for the soul."~ Lori McNee
