About the Artist: Lori Maines
Lori Maines, a recent addition to the resident community at Artspace Buffalo, is a transplant from the Finger Lakes, having moved to the area three years ago. She has many different styles and mediums that she enjoys, including fiber arts, (cultural and tribal works including yarn weaving, Ojos de Dios, or yarn mandalas, dreamcatchers, and macramé), loom knitting, acrylic painting and fluid acrylics, resin painting, jewelry design, stained glass, and ceramics.
Currently she specializes in acrylics, resin work, crystal jewelry, and fiber arts. She plans future classes at Artspace, including Acrylic Pouring, Resin Painting, and Mandala Weaving.
A self-taught artist, her education is in early childhood, with credentials in all ages. She has taught ceramics and stained glass in adult classes, and in her children’s classrooms, taught sculpting, finger-painting, tempera painting, matrix drawing, sketching, Chinese watercolor, puppet making, book illustrations, and many other styles and mediums.
Currently she keeps busy with Psychic and Holistic Events and Shows, displaying her healing crystal jewelry, mandalas, acrylic and resin paintings, and various handmade items relating to metaphysical sciences. She has been an exhibitor at the Music is Art Festival at Riverworks in Buffalo, contributed to the Artbreast Initiative at Artspace, co-hosted a Luna Circle Celebration including a drum circle and friends from her psychic connections for readings, and has exhibited at Artspace in her first resident show. She is considered one of the top five mandala weavers in the US, and was recently invited to join a small group of master weavers on a trip to Europe, to tour and teach weaving classes.
