SILVERTON ARTIST GOES PUBLIC FOR FIRST TIME

Good news for Lori Webb fans. After numerous requests -- and a lot of soul searching -- her art will soon be available in prints, greeting cards and magnets.

Webb has been creating art since the age of 7, but has taken her time deciding whether to release prints.

"Selling originals is like giving away a part of yourself. But you don't put it out there for no one to have it. So having prints made is like cloning my artwork. Then, I can sell originals and prints and feel good about it," she said.

Webb dabbles in a variety of mediums -- chalk pastel, watercolors, oil and acrylic. Her newest piece is a rendition of Silverton's historic and pristine Silver Creek and the covered bridge that she can see from her studio window.

One of Webb's most challenging and fun projects was restoring the original signage on the historic Wolfe Building. She is about to undertake something similar in Shedd, just south of Albany, at Thompson's Mill, where she will restore murals that were painted on old grain silos.

Webb also has worked on architectural renderings, commissioned art, interior murals, and historic recreations.

Silver Stream Studio, (located on South Water Street in the lower level of the Hartman Building) is where Webb's magic happens, whether she's working on her latest commissioned work or teaching droves of artists young and old from throughout the area.
