Shook Gallery

Lori Brubaker’s work combines printmaking, photography, and sculpture to showcase the beauty in the unnoticed aspects of nature and the negative spaces they create. She uses her own photographs within her work; she regularly goes out looking for the next piece of inspiration that nature provides her.

“Nature can be an intriguing, delicate, and complex being. It can be easy to take for granted all the alluring qualities and aspects that nature holds. My work aims to extract those elements that tend to go unnoticed. I find beauty within the positive and negative spaces that are formed with nature’s natural being. Color, abstraction, and earth’s natural appearances are used to present the natural elements in an alternate way to allow the viewer to form their own thoughts and experiences with the work and their connection to nature.”
