An Artist Story

Lori Langton, artist, welcomes you to Windance Design and Good Dog Bad Dog Clothing. I hope you enjoy your online visit.

As a young girl growing up in Washington State, much of my childhood was spent outdoors, sailing, skiing, and hiking with my family. My natural artistic talent grew from these experiences, making my passion for wildlife and domestic animals even greater. Our home was shared with three Golden Retrievers that were a big part of my life, and much an inspiration for me into the future. Today I get my inspiration from the farm that my husband and I share with our two children, 5 dogs, 3 cats, 13 chickens, and 2 Gouldian Finches.

In High School it wasn’t a surprise when I landed my first job at Eastgate Kennels, a facility that raised champion Golden Retrievers. That’s when my true involvement in showing Golden’s began. Since then I have been involved in the sport of dogs, competing in conformation, agility, and served as a Snohomish County 4-H Dog leader for three years. I continue today to breed, show conformation, and compete in agility with my Golden Retrievers and Miniature Australian Shepherds, along with my 14 year old daughter Madi and her Mini Aussie, Tazz. Being involved in showing dogs has also given me the opportunity to share my talents with people that love their pets. My portraits, prints, and clothing, are in many places across the country. It is always a thrill to see the smiles, or tears of joy when someone sees their finished portrait of a beloved pet for the first time.

My interests have grown and branched out to more than just drawings and portraits. Photography has become a way to not only express my love for nature, but also a way to capture it on film, and share my prints, cards, and animal portraits with all who have followed my artwork throughout the years. I have to say, my camera tends to be a permanent fixture in my life. One of my latest inspirations is my jewelry design. It’s an art medium that I put my whole heart into. I take pleasure designing unique pieces to make jewelry a real treasured artwork.

My creativity for the arts continues to amaze me as I venture in new directions. I never know from day to day what might spark my interest and what new ideas I might be starting. Designing my website has opened my eyes to many new product ideas. So make sure you check back often to see what might be new, and as always, enjoy your visit today browsing through Windance Design.
