About the Juror: Lori Elliott-Bartle
Primarily a painter, Lori Elliott-Bartle also makes woodcut and linoleum prints and mixed-media pieces. She binds blank journals and creates art books. She finds inspiration in vast expanses of sky and prairie as well as in her small urban garden, and in fleeting moments of daily life.
Her work is shown in commercial galleries in Omaha and she participates in juried group shows regionally. Lori’s work was included in the 2023, 2019 and 2017 Nebraska Artist Biennials. She was an artist in residence at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in 2023 and has completed two sessions in the Plank Road Artist Residency at Farwell House in Frederick, Illinois. She also has done an artist residency at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Cedar Point Biological Station in rural western Nebraska.
