A little about me...

I'm Lori Gouhin, a contemporary abstract artist creating expressive, intuitive, and deeply personal work. I didn't come to art through a traditional path. I didn't go to art school or follow a specific formula. I began painting later in life, driven by curiosity and a desire to explore what was stirring beneath the surface of myself.

​

My work is grounded in emotion and guided by intuition. I'm drawn to blended colors, rich layers of texture, and compositions that might feel unexpected. I don't approach the canvas with a strict plan. I allow the process to unfold, letting each piece reveal itself as I go.

​

I believe that art should make you feel something or quietly speak to something inside you. Art should create a connection. It should invite interpretation and reflection.

 

I'm not interested in perfection.

​

I'm interested in resonance.

I'm interested in honesty, the energy behind the work, and the quiet impact a piece can have over time.

 

I want my work to live in spaces where it's truly seen and felt.​

​

Outside the studio, I love spending time in nature and am drawn to both the ocean and the forest. I can't pass a used bookstore without going in, and I believe furniture is meant to be rearranged often. My family is my most treasured asset.

​

I value beauty, simplicity, and meaning and aim to bring that into my work.

​

If you’re drawn to a piece, there’s usually a reason.

​

I believe the right piece finds the right person, often in unexpected ways. If you're drawn to something, trust that.

 

Thanks for being here. I hope you find something that resonates with you.
