An Ornamental Perspective

Lori Ridgeway is an Ottawa-based oil painter whose abstracted landscapes explore the rhythms of line, light, and shadow in the near-natural world. With a foundation in design theory and continuous study under leading artists, her work reflects a deep engagement with structure and perception. Drawing from the Canadian Shield and local terrain, Ridgeway creates layered, intuitive compositions that reveal the extraordinary within the overlooked details of place.
