	Lorrie Bortner Featured Artist - April-May, 2007


	Lorrie's paintings are created from the intuitive level. She likes to have a mystical element as well as some humor. In most paintings are animals and/or goddesses.

	She was born in Philadelphia, received an MFA in painting in 1990, and has worked under various grants and on public art projects. Lorrie and her husband, also an artist, now make Taos, NM their home.

Lorrie's paintings are contemporary and vibrant. She enjoys painting big and in the last year has completed many mural projects with youth in Taos, NM. She has just completed six murals with the entire school of Yaxche Learning Center where she was the Artist-in-Residence in January-February 2007. She also teaches art appreciation to kindergarten and first graders in the Discovery After School program in Taos.
