Lori Anne McKague

About the artist

Lori Anne McKague is a Canadian freestyle artist based in British Columbia. Although she enjoyed a 40-year career in advertising and graphic design, she only began drawing after retirement, when she began developing her own artistic voice and practice. Inspired by worldwide travel, nature, vibrant colour, and the interplay between organic and geometric forms, McKague creates intricate works characterized by expressive line, imaginative detail, and playful visual movement. Her practice reflects a sense of curiosity, discovery, and creative freedom. Over the past year, McKague has participated in a number of solo and group exhibitions locally, regionally and internationally. She is a member of the Chilliwack Visual Arts Association and participates in several art councils throughout British Columbia’s Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, remaining actively involved in the region’s arts community. In 2026, McKague was named the Abbotsford Arts Council’s Lifestyle Artist of the Year. She has also received several honourable mentions and finalist awards in international art competitions. Her work has expanded into wearable art, prints, puzzles, accessories, home goods, and licensing collaborations.
