Lorrie Fink is a visual artist who uses the expressiveness of natural forms to investigate pattern and color. She lives and works in Oakland, California. With her studio located in her garden, she is surrounded by the bounty of nature.

Born and raised in Washington, DC, she roamed the galleries of the Smithsonian, sparking a life-long curiosity about the arts and sciences. She received a B.S. in Broadcasting & Film and a Master of Education degree in Media and Technology, both from Boston University. While working at the Oakland Museum of California in the late 1970s, Fink was introduced to the Society of Six California colorists, influencing her desire to explore color and light through painting. She was a principal partner of Seventeenth Street Studios, a graphic design company in Oakland, CA for 25 years. After painting at night and weekends for years, she built a studio in 2010. It provides an environment for creativity and focus where she may devote herself full-time to studio work.

Her work has been exhibited in numerous group shows, both nationally and around the San Francisco Bay Area, since 2003. Her paintings were presented in a solo exhibit at the Montgomery Post Center in San Francisco during summer/autumn of 2023, her sixth one-person exhibit. Her paintings are included in private collections throughout the U.S. and in public collections of several healthcare facilities in Northern California.
