Lorrie Crandall is originally from upstate New York and currently resides in North Liberty, Iowa. She received a BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology in Art & Design and continues her education by taking numerous classes and workshops with other artists from the US and Europe.
Although Halloween is of special interest to Lorrie, her subject matter varies as she works in assemblage, drawing, painting, sculpture, resin, collage and encaustic.
Exploring multiple mediums is what makes Lorrie a true mixed media artist, and many of the diverse techniques and materials are combined together into one unique piece.
Style
My work is heavily influenced by my travels and the cultures I have experienced as well as other artists. I would consider my style to be "Eclectic".
I often envision my sculptures as being caught in a moment of kinetic animation ( and I wonder if they do start to move about whenever I leave the room!)
I am particularly drawn to Dark Humor, Surrealism, and Nature.
I love everything about Halloween and I like to express that in many of my pieces as well.
