STRATA 19, Lorraine Roy

DRAWN FROM DELIGHT

LORRAINE ROY, Artist

An Exhibition of Textile Art by Lorraine Roy is currently open at the Jordan Gallery until April 30, 2021.

Raised in rural Southwestern Ontario, Roy completed an Honours B.SC in Horticultural Science before opening for a professional career in art textiles. Kindled by an early love of hand embroidery, she eventually learned to 'paint' with fabric using her sewing machine.

All of her work explores connections between art, science, and nature, and most of her imagery is inspired by the biology, mythology, and cultural impact of trees, classic symbols of our connection with the natural world. Lorraine continues to search for insightful and joyful ways to portray our rich and complex kinship with plants and creatures.

The Jordan Art Gallery is currently showing Lorraine Roy's textile artwork in its Spotlight Exhibition space. The Gallery is open 10 am to 5 pm.

Please check before visiting after March 14th,

as hours may change due to COVID restriction updates.
