Lori Latham

I am an intuitive abstract painter based in Portland, Oregon, with over 30 years of experience.

My work explores two primary styles: abstract landscapes and bold, expressive “Colorsplash” paintings. Moving between these approaches allows me to examine how each informs the other—how form, emotion, and spontaneity intersect on the canvas.

Known for my vibrant use of color and richly textured surfaces, I experiment with non-traditional painting tools and varied paint viscosities to push the boundaries of what paint can do. 

I’m driven by curiosity and the question, “What would happen if?” That question is what continually draws me back to the studio.

My work is held in corporate, national, and international private collections.
