LORI CHINN DESIGNS

The roses represent true beauty. The 3 women are surrounded by the roses, but sadly they cannot see or appreciate the beauty all around them. The blankness in their eyes reflect how people often miss what is right in front of them. The thorns represent how easily people are caught up in the trials of life which can be painful...instead of enjoying the beautiful things in life.

Printmaking - This is an image of the Golden Gate Bridge with the fog rolling in. I drew the image with the side of a plastic card to make the lines more textured. I used a QTip to blot the fog rolling in. As a native of San Francisco, this is one of my favorite spots.

Mixed media print for my art class at Lowell. This print represents the before and after of a woman's life who has undergone a dramatic positive change. The right side of print reflects the past "old self" of the woman with sad overtones. The left side of print reflects the current "new self" which is outgoing, positive and bold.

I love flowers and wanted to depict the joy and life given by God with nature. I patiently drew each line of the intricate designs flowing into each other (with no end) to symbolize my hope for unending joy. I did not add color to keep the design simple and bold.

This painting reflects the old adage "is the cup half empty or half full?"--but with an Asian spin to it! In San Francisco, which consists of 33% Chinese, boba drink shops have been springing up in many neighborhoods.

This project was created in my AP Art class. We were asked to create an 8 panel political cartoon. My focus was on the epidemic of fast food in America. It highlights the economic problems in America leading to the need for cheap food they can be obtained quickly.

Printmaking - The woman is fading away melting into the background. Her eyes are still very bold and mysteriously watching. I sprayed the ink with cleaning solution to give it the washing out look. There are times we prefer to stay in the background and just watch.

Self portrait drawn in front of a mirror. Tried to capture how I was feeling--a bit uncomfortable drawing myself. I surprisingly enjoyed it very much and was quite pleased with the outcome.

This picture represent summer to me. I chose vivid bright colors to reflect the brightness and happiness I feel during the summertime. Sun bursts are interspersed with various tropical flowers to reflect the beauty of the season.
