Lori Anne McKague

Retiring to a mountaintop in Chilliwack, BC, Canada, after 40 years as a successful graphic designer, my creative curiosity found new avenues of expression, fed by my passion for travel, and the beautiful wilderness around me. Perpetually armed with art journal and pen, I channel each new adventure into visions of shape and movement, which flow as ink to paper into a series of other-worldly creations I've christened “Doodles.” Later, by adding colour, each Doodle transcends its birth in black and white to a harmonized visual symphony that transfixes the eye. My graphic expertise has also led me to expand my Doodles into an army of repeatable patterns and kaleidoscope designs, each with its own peculiar but pleasing rhythm.

When the mind’s eye is a kaleidoscope, creation springs forth from the most unlikely of places. Such vision inspires artist Lori Anne McKague’s off-beat works of art.Retiring to a mountaintop in Chilliwack, BC, Canada, after 40 years as a successful graphic designer, Lori’s creative curiosity found new avenues of expression, fed by her passion for travel, and the beautiful wilderness around her.
