Lori Cote began her drawing and watercolor journey soon after she retired, a few short years ago.  Working as a business analyst for many years, retirement gave her the time to finally let loose and explore her more creative side.

She had been given a watercolor set as a gift, so decided to give watercolor painting a whirl. YouTube gave her a start, but it didn’t take long before she felt knowing how to draw would also be helpful. She signed up for a number of in-person drawing and painting classes taught by local artists in their homes, at artist emporium, and through community centres and schools.  When the pandemic hit, and stay at home orders were in place, Lori continued to take classes online. She will be forever grateful that she had her art and online classes to help pass the long days of the pandemic.

Growing up on a farm with nature all around, she is drawn to painting landscapes but occasionally ventures out to other drawing or painting genres.

Lori feels she has much to learn and looks forward to watching and learning from fellow artists along her art journey.
