Lori Faye Bock
In the beginning, surrounded by a menagerie of cats, dogs & sheep, whose eyes just don’t ever leave me alone ... ever - there was no doubt in my mind what subject matter I was to paint. So, I painted and painted and painted ... animals.
I live in beautiful river valley encircled by majestic mountains to the north, south, east and west - so it was just a matter of time before my animal paintings had skies, land & water.
Household objects, both ordinary and extraordinary, intrigue me. I believe my windowscapes evolved so that I can have animals and landscapes along with those wonderful domestic inventions - all in one painting!
My years as a first grade teacher have no doubt influenced my ABC Series. Besides being able to paint anything in the whole wide world as long as it begins with a letter of the alphabet - I get to write text, which accompanies my illustrations. Sometimes these words are funny. Sometimes they are serious. Sometimes they are mine and sometimes I borrow from others.
The ever-changing relationship between composition, color and subject matter continue to interest me. As I embrace my 50th year of life, I am questioning less and doing more. At times I find myself pushing boundaries like there is no tomorrow - like there are no rules.
People tell me I am funny. They say they feel good because I make them laugh. If I can squeeze a smile, chuckle or better yet downright roaring laughter because of the joy, beauty, wit or humor I transmit through my art, then I believe I am doing my job well. And if someone falls in love with my animal paintings and goes running to the nearest shelter to adopt a cat or dog, or both, then I think I deserve a gold star.
Being able to vanish into my studio, thus into my own little world, day in and day out, is truly a tremendous gift & blessing.
Oh, and the best thing about being an artist is that I get to go to work in my pajamas, with a cup of tea in hand, followed by a host of darling faces who just happen to have whiskers.”

Lori Faye Bock's Giclee Prints

A giclee is a specialized ink spray process which was developed exclusively for the fine art printing of print artwork. This process referred to as giclee actually means 'to spray' in French. Lori Faye Bock's painting is first digitally photographed. Then, tiny droplets of ink are sprayed onto archival printmaking paper where the image is transferred using the digital image as the reference point.
Upon the completion of the first giclee, the artist and master printer refine the image through a series of proofs to ensure the color and clarity of the work. Giclee limited edition prints are known for their brilliant color and the details and subtleties they capture.
Limited edition means exactly that. Each print has an edition number. Once all the limited edition prints have been printed in that particular edition, no more will ever be printed.
Lori Faye Bock hand embellishes each print, numbers and individually signs each image. No two are exactly alike because of the personal handwork involved in embellishing the print. Embellishing means the artist takes paint, pastel, colored pencil or other mediums and actually adds color to the print.
These fine art prints represent the finest balance between workmanship, archival paper and dye permanence that is available today. Added years of enjoyment will be yours if you protect these prints from direct sunlight and fluorescent lights, as you would any fine work of art.
