Jorli Prine's Bio

Jorli can't remember a time when she wasn't drawing or painting. By age 5 she was sketching recognizable portraits. During her youth, her parents, Robert and LaDorna Perine, identified and nurtured her talent by providing her with space, time, and materials. Both were both graduates of Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles.

Jorli grew up in the beautiful community of Laguna Beach, and spent most of her childhood by the ocean. It was quite natural for her to observe, and become a lover of the sea, and of the ocean's powerful seasons.

Jorli attended Brigham Young University, The Southern California Institute of the Arts, and Orange Coast College.

As she matured through life's experiences, Jorli developed a sensitivity and sensibility that complimented her skills and created an artistic vision that is uniquely her own. She has a talent for capturing reflective light and movement in her seascapes and her other paintings. Jorli believes that talent should be used and expressed and commits herself to her work as a way to share with others her observations and feelings. She hopes that her paintings will inspire feelings of awe and respect towards nature, and appreciation of the simple magical things in life.
