About the Artist:

Lori Perbeck is a fine art photographer based in Jersey City, NJ. She holds a BFA in Painting from the University of Bridgeport and a Certificate in Photography from the International Center of Photography in New York City. Her background in painting is evident in her photography, where an exceptional command of color and light transforms each composition.

Rooted in themes of love, impermanence, and fragility, Lori’s still lifes explore the delicate balance between presence and transience. She shapes form and light into meditative compositions, inviting viewers to slow down and find meaning in the quiet, often overlooked details of everyday life.

Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in New York City and Jersey City and is held in numerous private collections. From her Jersey City studio, she continues to refine her practice while actively engaging with the local arts community—exhibiting regularly and contributing to the creative dialogue.

Artist Statement

I make work that derives from a place beyond visual perception to arrive at a more truthful understanding of my surroundings, the passage of time, and the fleeting nature of existence. By engaging my full sensorial range, I embrace a "whole body" approach toward observation. I hear the light call me to "Look over here!" Vibrant colors warm my skin. Hues become palpable. Shadows dance. Time is blurred. Through my images, I notice—and celebrate—the often- overlooked beauty of a reality that is, in so many ways, mundane and imperfect.

My photographs invite viewers to pause, to look more deeply, and to find meaning in the unnoticed—a flicker of light shifting across a wall, the distortion of a reflection, the delicate interplay of textures and tones. By blending the real with the ethereal, I aim to create a meditation on impermanence, offering a quiet reverence for life's fleeting yet profound moments.
