Dell approaches creating with a daring and passionate eye, forging a career in the arts that spans multiple decades and touches on many genres. Her body of work predominantly consists of large format paintings - bold compositions rich with colour and depth, representational forms rendered and abstracted by gradual layering to an expression of their essential energy. Exhibiting for over 20 years, her work has been represented internationally and is in many private and public collections. Lori has also garnered recognition from illustration , and set and costume design for the stage.
