Lora Wood Bio

Picture
Lora Wood is a native Floridian and a self-taught artist and photographer. She has a love and passion for art and travel which started very early in her life. One that has sustained her through the many curves that it has taken over the years.
Her friends describe her as a “Florida Gypsy Artist”. When not driving the back roads looking for new experiences, she is home daydreaming about traveling and painting the visions that ensue.
Although she is skilled in many mediums, behind the camera is where you will normally find her. Lora's desire is to capture the feelings of a moment rather than the mere image. This is reflected throughout her work. And although you may find her pieces to be a mix of her eclectic interests her overall style borders more on an organized realistic approach.

Lora's background is in technology and customer service. But her passion is in art. Lora is inspired by the beauty of the natural world and the rich tapestry of people in it. So, combining travel and art was an obvious choice for her to base her creativity. With that in mind, she started shotsfromtheroad.com. A web-based site, and store that combines those passions as well as giving her a chance to branch out into the art of writing.
She is currently utilizing her technical skills to harness the power of the internet. Thus, allowing her to connect with other travelers, artist, and art collectors around the world. These interactions have allowed her to grow as both an artist and an individual. Her art now hangs in private collections across the globe. And although she enjoys exhibiting in local galleries, shows, and businesses she has embraced and thrived in our global connectivity.

Lora is an active member of many local art groups including, The Art Center in Jacksonville (former president and marketing lead), FemArt, Jacksonville Artist Guild and the Art Guild of Orange Park.

Statement
There is a calmness that I get from creating something from nothing or being able to capture the feelings of a moment. Each of my images whether real or imagined is a part of me, a feeling that I was experiencing. Something that I couldn't describe with words, so it had to be photographed, painted, drawn, or created. I never know what is going to come out, I just let go and see what it becomes.
Many times, it is not about creating anything in particular. It is more about the process of just creating. It is a wonderful thing, to be able to go in the studio and "zone" into what I am working on. To just play with colors or feel the coolness of the clay allows all of the stress from daily life to melt away.
