A native of Nashville, Putnam has spent her career traveling the globe, painting and teaching in close to 30 different countries. Capturing the light and ambiance of each setting, she brings every viewer along for the journey. \u201cFar from Home<\/em> is more than a collection of works from distant places,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt is a personal pilgrimage.\u201d<\/p>\n

 \u201cThere is something magical about immersing oneself in the suite of paintings Lori Putnam has created for this exhibition,\u201d said Curator of Exhibits Terri Jordan. \u201cThe splashing sounds of blue waters, sun-streaked skies, purple shadows against cool rocks\u2026 Lori has masterfully used color to set the mood of each place depicted within the canvas panels, using brushstrokes that skip across terracotta roofs and jagged stone. The 29 pieces in this exhibition are evidence of her status as one of the best modern impressionists today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lori Putnam is a Signature Member of a plethora of art associations, including Oil Painters of America, National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, American Impressionist Society and International Plein Air Painters. In 2021, Putnam won both the $15,000 Grand Prize and the People\u2019s Choice Award for the Plein Air Salon Competition. She is also the Vice President of Art Ambassador for a Colorful World<\/a>, a global organization of artists, supporters and children making the world a more colorful place and building communication across cultures.<\/p>\n
