LORI MIRABELLI – ABSTRACT ARTIST
Ontario-based abstract artist Lori Mirabelli made the decision to sell her art on line through Etsy in 2008 and hasn’t looked back since. She has used art shows, art gallery representation and her own social media network to market her work. Collaborations with interior designers and affordable price points have contributed to this artist’s success.
“Growing up, I never quite understood Abstract art. It didn’t make sense to me. I truthfully was all about realism and making sure I captured everything I saw perfectly. It was in my mid-thirties when I realized why realism captivated me so. It all boiled down to control.
It was during one of my university classes that I discovered what modern art was all about. I realized very quickly that becoming an acrylic artist and creating abstract acrylic paintings allowed me to not focus on what I saw, but how I felt and the energy that came with that. For a short period of time, I got to let go of my need for control, took risks, and lost myself in the process. I was forever changed in that moment.”
