Lori Vrba is a self-taught photographer from a "small, back-woods southeast Texas town". She does not have an extensive artistic background, nor have any family members with such. She uses film and has a traditional wet darkroom. Her series, Piano Farm, was inspired by her daughter's piano lessons. Her daughter's piano teacher is a farm caretaker, as well. Her series just started out as a way to pass time, but quickly evolved into something much deeper. Lori uses the farm as her source of inspiration. She notes that "the series speaks to the connection between an artist and a place of endless creative possibility". She describes the place as "a farm that holds possibility at every turn", and one thats a very giving place. Her love for both her daughters own artist evolution as well as Lori's it evident in her photographs. I hope that I can find a place, like Lori has, that gives me as much inspiration.
