Lorrie Paynes RAw Sugar: Raw Materials Sweet Results


Artist: Lorri Payne (center)

We went to see an exhibit by Lorrie Payne on a balmy night in downtown Philadelphia. A few years ago Lorrie was known as a doll maker; today Lorrie is part sculptor and part mix media artist. Like a true creative being, her work has evolved over the years. Her detailed oriented pieces capture the mood of each individual figurative sculpture of which she names or adds captions. Lorrie blends old and new materials and uses an eclectic mixture of paper, sheet music, metal, glass, beads and mixed textile patterns to create exquisite works of art. It was well worth the trip into center city on a night that was crowded with people out and about because finally the weather was good.

Lorrie’s work will be on exhibit at the Cosmopolitan Club 1616 Latimer Street Philadelphia PA 19103 until April 4th ,2014.
