Lori Frank Fine Artist

I discovered Lori's artwork at TIX On the Square years ago, and have always adored her style. When our beloved dog passed, I contacted Lori with a photo of our Simba to see if I could commission a painting to memorialize him. She was extremely helpful and empathetic when we discussed the piece over the phone. When I was invited over for the revealing, I was prepared to cry, and be overwhelmed with sadness. But when Lori brought out the painting... it was him, it was Simba! He looked as if he was ready to jump right out of the painting! I was taken over by the joy of being re-unified with Simba. The photo I originally provided was actually taken during sunset, but the painting was made into a beautiful, warm sunrise, shining through his golden coat with stunning colours. Simba looked so happy in the field in Terwillegar Park where he used to run. The most extraordinary part was how Lori noticed a heart-shaped pattern in his fur, and reproduced it in the painting. That was particularly special to me. She took her time to discuss her thought-process in creating the piece, and share with me the passion she has for her craft. I appreciated how humble, gracious, and honest she was. The painting is now hung in our home, right above Simba's favourite sofa. Looking at the painting brings our family joy every time, and I am grateful to have such a beautiful closure to his passing. Thank you Lori. I am sure you will continue to forge wonderful emotional connections through your artistry, as you have with me.

I love Lori’s art! She brings all the beauty of Edmonton to the foreground. Our river valley, our promenades and trails are her subjects and she does them proud.

My boyfriend deserves a boyfriend of the year award and Lori Artist of the year after the beautiful collaboration those two did in making my birthday extra special. Lori painted an amazing picture of one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Thanks to the two of them for making me cry tears of awe and appreciation for the work that transpired from this thoughtful gift...Lori is one truly amazing artist!

I met Lori in 2015 and have always talked about her and her work because they are amazing. She is a fine artist who shares her passion for art. Her subjects are usually local sceneries yet she also takes commission work. Lori is quick to respond for inquiries. Her story is inspiring; much more her art, when you see them - will evoke familiar feelings that will heal your soul. Lori is Edmonton's gift to the Canadian Art scene! In December 2020, I ordered another print for delivery within Edmonton zone and the transaction was smooth, quick and easy! Lori has always been consistent. The deliver also had a personal touch!!! I highly recommend Lori and her services.

We asked Lori to help us commission a painting of my grandparents home so we will always have the memory of it and all the times spent there! She did such a fabulous job of capturing its charm and beauty, and listened to us with what we thought was important to showcase. Could not have turned out better! THANK YOU!!

Our art pieces from Lori look beautiful in our home! Lori was very responsive and helpful when communicating and organizing shipping. We no longer live in Edmonton and love how much her art reminds us of 'home'. Looking forward to having her art in our house for many years to come!

I contacted Lori regarding a commission for a painting of the Black Dog Pub on Whyte Ave as an engagement gift for my daughter and future son in law. She had some great ideas about how to bring this vision to life, was easy to work with, and created the perfect piece of art to commemorate the engagement! I love it, the kids love it - Lori is wonderful at highlighting our city through art! Thank you again Lori!

We commissioned Lori for a retirement gift painting. She was so enthusiastic to do it and was able to complete it in the short time frame that we gave her. She did an excellent job: the painting is beautiful and it's exactly what we discussed. She also recommended a great framing studio. She is very friendly and a pleasure to work with but most importantly, she really embraced the idea and vision we had for this very special gift and brought it to reality. She was really the perfect artist for the job!
