Life is Short. Venture Beyond the Shallows

Words crafted into

Stories shape us. In the Ink & Alchemy Blog, Lori’s poetry, flash fiction, and essays become portals—offering a reckoning, a redemption, a revelation, or a gentle nudge toward something deeper. Some pieces press against the raw edges of truth, others whisper in quiet corners, but all exist to explore what it means to be fully alive. If you’re longing for words that stir your soul and call you back to yourself, this is where you’ll find them.

Light moves, water shifts, and the world reveals itself—if you’re patient enough to see it. Photography, for Lori, isn’t about capturing; it’s about witnessing. A moose stepping into view, the poetry of a waterfall in long exposure, the sky painting its reflection across still water—these moments come when you wait. Chasing Light is about presence, about the quiet practice of seeing the world as it truly is.

Some words are meant to be read. Others are meant to be heard. Resonance is where poetry and storytelling leave the page and take on breath, rhythm, and sound. This is a space for spoken word, creative musings, and deep conversations on the artistic process. Whether through a whisper or a fire-lit declaration, words find weight when they move through air. Here, voice becomes an instrument, and stories find a life beyond ink.

Creativity isn’t just about making—it’s about listening. In The Wild Stroke, painting becomes a meditation, a conversation between color, form, and the unseen. Whether swirling vortexes, rooted trees, or layered abstractions, Lori’s paintings capture emotion in motion. Here, art is a way of grounding, feeling, and expressing what words cannot. This is for those drawn to creation as a process of discovery.
