Lori Niland Rounds is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans fiber, encaustic, painting, printmaking, and photography. Inspired by extensive travels and a deep interest in history, memory, and the natural world, she creates work that explores themes of identity, resilience, and the traces of human experience. Her fiber sculptures transform fragile materials into evocative forms that reflect both vulnerability and strength while inviting quiet reflection on our shared past and present. Her work has been exhibited nationally and is included in museum and private collections, including the Museum of Encaustic Art in Santa Fe.
