For Lorin, creating
visual art comes easily. His works speak the visual language of his life
experiences, each with sentiment. His concepts and subjects are each a
product of relationships, of nature, fanciful thoughts, of historic
leadership and human nature to name a few.
In 1977, Lorin received
his B.A. in Interior Architecture from Kansas State University. He then
moved to Dallas, Texas founding Lorin Designs, crafting the finest
custom furnishings to the design trade for over 20 years. He developed a
clientele of the Dallas elite.
Not completely satisfied,
he continued his journey towards artistry in sculpture once relocation
to the serene San Marcos, Texas finding a relaxed community that has
been a regular source of inspiration in his work. His most proud
sculpture titled "Texas Oak" (2002) is of a giant and
yet unsung Texas hero, which can be viewed in two public locations,
inside the Texas State Cemetery and the San Marcos City Hall.
His Work
Lorin works in refined
detail stemming from his fine crafting days, and has developed the
painterly approach used by many Master painters with similar effect.
Lorin strives for the unique yet classic sculpted pose using live and
photographed models. He paints in plain air and alla prima (painting
from life) to capture lighting effects for those completely made up
settings, all to make each appear actual and natural. It is his sense of
design that enables these compositions to go from imagination to
reality., to make possible the dream or surreal world made
lifelike.
Lorin works continuously
at improving his knowledge and technique through self-study and
discovery. His dream of visualizing his range of expression, with each
capturing a quality performance, is being realized day by day.
