Hello, I’m Lori-Lyn.

I write about longing, relationships, and the mystery of being alive.

My work explores inner life, and the moments of transition, awakening, and recognition that shape who we become. The impulse behind everything I make is the same: to express what insists upon being expressed and to tell what is mine to tell.

I'm a writer and visual artist with an MFA in fiction writing and a background in studio art and theology. I've always been more interested in living from my inner guidance than following the expectations of the dominant culture. Creativity is how I understand the world, make meaning, and move through time.

My work traces the subtle and dramatic connections that move through people, nature, and the unseen dimensions of experience, the personal blending with the universal, the ordinary in conversation with the numinous.

Writing — I host my longform work on Substack, where I publish fiction, creative nonfiction, and essays on creativity, intuition, and authentic living. I'm currently at work on a young adult novel.

Visual Art — I paint acrylic on canvas and draw digitally. You can find a gallery of my work here.

Teaching — I lead writing workshops and develop courses on intuitive development, voice, and creative inspiration.

I share my work in the hope that readers recognize something of themselves in it and remember that beneath the noise and uncertainty of paradigm shift, there is a steady current of love that moves through us all.
