Lori Purk has been taking pictures since her childhood and is very passionate about photography and the natural world. During the last two decades, Lori has been an active leader in several photography-related organizations and has also enjoyed capturing all the beautiful places she has visited during her career as a travel agent. She has been selling and sharing her work with the public at fine art and craft shows and galleries in and around the St. Louis area for four years. Visit www.loripurk.com to see more of her work and for information on her planned exhibition schedule.

Lori's award winning photography has also been exhibited at the Shaw Nature Reserve, the St. Louis Artists' Guild, Art Coop and Powder Valley Nature Center. Several of Lori's photographs were recently selected for a permanent educational display at the newly built Great Rivers Museum in Alton, IL. The Missouri Governor's Mansion holds some of her work in their permanent art collection. She is represented by Mo'sart, Missouri Art Studio in Saint Genevieve, the Dunklin Street Gallery in Jefferson City, Fulton Art and Gifts in Fulton and by Zuzu's Petals in Washington, Missouri. Lori became a juried member of the Missouri Artisan's Association (Best of Missouri Hands) in early 2001. She is also a Board Member and the Newsletter Editor for the Missouri Nature and Environmental Photographers (MoNEP).

The simple, yet fascinating and colorful, details found in nature are the focus of Lori's current work. She hopes to evoke an emotional response from her viewers and to help them "see" and "feel" the everyday beauty that can be easily overlooked in this fast paced world. It is her mission to convey her love of nature and to inspire others to value and protect our natural world through her photography. She is willing to educate anyone who is interested.
