Fine Art Landscape Paintings and Custom Portraits in Oil and Pastel on Commission by Lisa Egeli

American Impressionist Lori Putnam's paintings are her personal response to rhythm, pattern, shape, and color. Seeing the world this way affords her the freedom to paint all subjects.  Born in 1962, the Nashville native's love of nature began early, growing up on 48 wooded acres, surrounded by a Wildlife Game Preserve. In high school she excelled in both visual and performance arts, but unforeseen circumstances placed her in the workforce at an early age, ending her plans for college. 
 In 1992, Putnam started a successful graphic design company, and sold the company 13 years later in order to pursue fine art. She and her husband Mark also sold their home and belongings to move to Italy. The sole purpose of the move was to provide Putnam a time for self-study and artistic growth.
 Her hard work and sacrifice paid off. Putnam's paintings have received awards in notable exhibitions including Salmagundi Club NYC; Portrait Society of America; Oil Painters of America; American Impressionist Society; Laguna Plein air Painters Association; Forgotten Coast Plein air Invitational, Maui Plein air Invitational, and Plein air Easton.  She has been featured in Art of the West, Plein air Magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur, Western Art Collector, Southwest Art, and American Artist. 
 Today, Putnam travels approximately six months of the year, teaching, painting, and lecturing. As one of the nation's top plein air artists, she shares her methods and philosophy at the Plein air Convention each year. The remaining six months, Putnam paints in her studio in rural Tennessee.
