Lori Motokado is a Japanese-Canadian watercolour artist with over 35 years painting experience. Formally instructed in oils, she switched mediums to watercolour paints and proceded to learn the medium through exploration and time. Lori has developed her own uniquely detailed and thoughtful approach to the medium. Drawing from her academic background (BA in History, Certificate in Liberal Arts, and Certificate in Architectural Drafting), she is drawn to subjects with history and character.
Lori's work reflects her appreciation for the colours, textures, shadows, and marks of time, that define the subject's respective rich narrative. Her paintings are visual vignettes, revealing the complex and intimate stories behind the subject. Lori's body of work ranges from antique boats, heritage buildings, vintage cars, heirloom toys, to still life compositions.
Lori is an active member of the Canadian Federation of Artists and her work is collected both publically and privately.
