Raised in Seattle and based in Venice, CA, Tori White began painting at an early age. Her paintings are an expression of characters with complex emotional backstories as well as abstract landscapes using color and exposed natural wood grain to provoke a feeling of aliveness. Often featuring solitary subjects or familiar grouped objects set within wide atmospheric vistas viewed from unique perspectives, her landscapes, beachscapes, and skyscrapers are hauntingly compelling, each offering a suggestion of a story but always encouraging the viewer to wonder.
