Lorna Barimi is an Albanian American artist living and working in Cleveland, Ohio.

Her practice moves between oil painting and works on paper, exploring emotion, femininity, and the subconscious.

Her work centers on the experience of witnessing emotion as it occurs—the presence of both the one who feels and the one who notices. Rather than emphasizing immediacy, her paintings linger in the liminal space of awareness.

They hold a mirror without instruction.
