photo by Kate McKenzie | Lori Nozick was born and currently lives in the northeast US. She has traveled throughout the country, extensively in the West, as well as the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and India, and has spent several months in Italy for the past three years. Ms. Nozick has an eighteen-year-old daughter and lives in northern Westchester County, New York.
Ms. Nozick got her BFA from Philadelphia College of Art, and an MFA from Pratt Institute. She was a painter for many years, then began making wall reliefs that incorporated painted surfaces and sculptural elements. Her work became increasingly sculptural and large scale, and she has directed this towards architectural and symbolic constructions, installations, and earthworks. |
|
Her art explores the perceptions, expectations, and forms in architecture as expression of self and society. Private and public spaces define individual existence while connecting us to the outside world, and it is this relationship that informs her architectural sculpture. |

The artist has exhibited her work in galleries and museums in and around New York, and in Italy, a site-specific sculpture installation at the Flash Art Museum, Trevi, Italy, which was shown on RAI Italian TV. She has been a Visiting Artist and Artist In Residence for state, county, and city arts organizations, museums, and university/art schools, and has done site-specific installations in parks and communities, public art projects and private commissions. Ms. Nozick has received grants and commissions for these projects, including a % For Art/SITES For Schools/Public Art In Public Schools commission. |
