Lori L Nozick

Lori Nozick grew up in northeast US, lived in New York for 25 years, and Miami Beach with a studio in the Fountainhead Residency for eleven years. She relocated to Los Angeles and Palm Springs, CA. She is an artist who finds “home” in the environment and incorporates the particular elements in her art. The artist has exhibited her work in galleries and museums, awarded public art commissions, and received international, national, state, foundation grants and fellowships for her work, including the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant, NYFA Rauchenberg Artist Grant, The Adolf and Esther Gottlieb Foundation, and others. Recently completed is a premier public art commission at the new Monroe County Courthouse in Islamorada FL, reflecting luscious environmental elements. The patinaed steel panels hang in the atrium lobby. Ms. Nozick was honored in 2006 for “Luce Et Vita Universae”, selected as one of the Best Public Art Projects of the Year by the Americans For the Art Public Art Review, commissioned by the NYC % For Art, Public Art In Public School/SITES Program, and the School Construction Authority. Ms. Nozick has been a university professor in NY, NJ, Miami, and Palm Desert, CA, primarily in Sculpture and Drawing, including in the Italy Program of American University, Wash. DC and Corciano, Italy. She also has a design business doing decorative and unique surfaces for public commissioned projects, residential and commercial spaces, as well as specialized projects, including unique map drawings, textiles and wall pieces, working with business, museums, designers, and real estate developers. My art is tactile, deeply referential; materials of the primal earth, structures we create and discard, and existing outside a fixed moment. Tension and balance between security and impermanence echo, examining cycles of cohesion and disintegration. The archetypal images and forms of my work, built structures, work on paper, patinaed metals, all of the concept.
