Lorelei H Beckstrom is a mixed media painter from the United States, where she studied painting and sculpture in Minnesota and Colorado.
In 2015, after owning an award-winning gallery in the Rockies, she shed nearly everything she owned to live in London and Dubai to work on commissions.
She continued to travel and paint where desire and opportunity converged, and after time in fifteen countries, she made the Republic of Georgia her home.
Her work isn’t necessarily about the specific places she’s been, but is born of and infused with the rich landscape of sights, sounds, people, and thoughts that she’s experienced around the planet.
Lorelei’s paintings are in private collections in the U.S., Mexico, Republic of Georgia, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates.
Wanderlust still inspires her work, so she continues to live an untethered life that can be carried in two suitcases and a tube of canvases.

My greatest inspiration is the last decade I’ve spent traveling and living abroad, while continuing to paint full time. My work isn’t necessarily about specific places I’ve been, but is born of and infused with the rich landscape of sights, sounds, smells, people, and thoughts that I’ve experienced around the planet.
Without the defining tether of a permanent home, I get to easily evolve and meet myself as a person and an artist again and again, like it’s the very first time. Setting up studios regularly in new countries influences my paintings based not only on the size and materials, but the culture and atmosphere that welcome me.
I tend to work on many paintings at once; they grow up together and greatly influence each other, like siblings. We take turns guiding each other as we wander through both the inner and outer journeys. My job is listen and then to act. I am completely immersed and tend to live in the stories and worlds that unfold before my eyes.
I don’t package particular messages or emotions, but instead prefer to leave the door cracked open just enough to peek in. I want to inspire curiosity and childlike wonder to entice the viewer to come in and be part of the storytelling.
