About

I’m Loren Griffyn.  For me, creating art is magical and awe-inspiring.

Magical in that it can shift the energy of a room.  Magical in that it can transform our consciousness and absolutely delight our hearts, minds, and souls.

I love that I have the ability to express myself through colour, shape, and form.

When we allow art into our lives, into the spaces we live and work in everyday, we allow ourselves to be infused with inspiration, aliveness, and beauty.

I have found that in my own artwork, it’s purpose in not simply to represent images, stories, or ideas. Art is meant to make us feel. When I use my intuition to guide me;  feeling the appropriateness of a colour, shape, or form, rather than thinking it, the painting hums with aliveness and energy.  That creative place for me is about the expression of joy, and I have witnessed that deep emotional response to my artwork.  It is truly humbling.

Art nourishes our spirit and creates space for deep silent joy.

Art connects me to such a beautiful, breathing place inside of me I feel compelled to share.  Art has and continues to heal my heart, spirit, and mind.

I live in a highrise apartment building, where the dining area has been converted to the ‘studio’…where major feats of controlled messiness occur. I share my space with my delightful, sunshine yellow budgie, Chicksie.  I love coffee, hiking, sandy beaches, meditating, and am a dedicated positive day-dreamer.  I believe in naps, and large spacious time in deep quiet.
