Lorna Beecroft

Lorna Beecroft lives with her husband, horses, and cats on a small hobby farm near the Pacific Ocean. Living in a rural area, she is surrounded by an endless parade of animals, everything from the resident ravens and bald eagles to raccoons, rabbits, and the diminutive black-tailed island deer. It is a love of both wild and domestic animals that fuels much of her choice of subjects and her art.

​

For Lorna, the joy of creating is seeing the subject materialize as if of its own will out of the paper or on the canvas. In her words, she often feels as though she is an intermediary, as creative energy flows through her, an unstoppable and undeniable force. She feels successful if she is able to capture a feeling or spirit that others share as they view a piece.
