At the age of 19, Lora Arbrador was given a recipe for making egg tempera paint, a luminous but challenging medium practiced from antiquity to the present. Like a musician drawn to a particular instrument, Arbrador found her creative home in egg tempera. To support her art practice, Arbrador became a registered nurse, and the medical world has inspired many of her paintings, which explore themes of mortality, sensuality, and the celebration of bodily functions. Her painting Don’t Go My Friend: The Death of John Walsh won first place at the Art and Healing exhibition at ArtWest Gallery. Captivated by the history of egg tempera, Arbrador was invited to speak at the Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University. In 1997, she co-founded the Society of Tempera Painters. Her first book, A History of Roman Calligraphy, is housed in the Stern Book Arts & Special Collections Center at the San Francisco Public Library. Arbrador’s studio is in San Francisco, California, USA.
