About Lore

Lore is a contemporary landscape artist based in Adelaide, South Australia. Originally from South Africa, her work is shaped by a lifelong curiosity and an enduring desire to explore the world’s diverse landscapes. Whether wandering a rugged coastline, hiking through native bushland, or reflecting on distant places that have left a lasting impression, she finds inspiration in the quiet beauty of the natural world.

Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, Lore creates expressive landscapes that capture not only the physical characteristics of a place, but also its atmosphere, light, and emotional resonance. Her paintings are an invitation to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature in an increasingly fast-paced world. Rather than documenting a scene exactly as it appears, she interprets the landscape through colour, texture, and gesture, creating works that evoke a sense of presence and belonging.

Motherhood has become an integral part of Lore’s creative journey. As a mother of two young children, her family is at the heart of everything she does. They are her greatest source of joy, purpose, and inspiration, reminding her daily to slow down, notice the changing seasons, and appreciate the wonder found in ordinary moments. The balance between raising a family and nurturing a creative practice has deepened her appreciation for the restorative power of nature and has strengthened her commitment to creating meaningful work.

Art is not simply a passion—it is Lore’s full-time pursuit and vocation. She dedicates her days to painting, continually developing her practice while seeking new landscapes to explore and translate onto canvas. From the dramatic coastlines of South Australia to memories of Africa and the places she encounters through travel, each collection reflects a personal journey of discovery.

Through her work, Lore hopes to inspire others to venture outdoors, embrace the beauty of the natural environment, and form lasting connections with the places that shape our lives. Every painting tells a story of exploration, inviting viewers to experience a landscape not only through sight, but through feeling.
