“It is said that a truly creative person expresses their creativity with every medium they touch. Lorrie Potvin possesses that kind of creativity, and in abundance. Powerful prose, exquisite carvings, stunning sculptural work: each show her artistry. She often works with what seem like the hardest of materials — wood, stone, steel — and yet through those materials, she breathes life and soul into the inanimate, giving voice to the materials as they tell their own story. For ultimately, Lorrie is a story teller and a teacher. Spending time with Lorrie, with her writing, or working alongside her, there is listening, there is learning, there is love.”
