Art was introduced to Lori at a very young age by her Grandmother and is a common bond shared with her son Seth, also an artist.

She enjoys creating and finding unique ways to express her God given talents. In creating, her desire is to bring happiness and pleasure to others.

Through the years she has experimented with pen and ink, watercolor, three dimensional decoupage, acrylics, and most recently, oils. Lori has been the featured artist for Mount Nittany Medical Center’s main hallway display on several occasions. She also has exhibited numerous times at the Bellefonte Art Museum and recently at the State College Frame and Gallery. Her work is currently on display at DBI/Springboard in Bellefonte. Lori’s Double Arch acrylic painting was selected for the Images 2023 juried fine art exhibition of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the arts. Her piece is one of 51 from the 374 submitted for inclusion in this prestigious show. Lori and her son, Seth exhibited together in September 2023 at the University Wine Company, State College PA. Lori has a special fondness for western art and receives inspiration from noted artists, Mark Maggiori, Steve Atkinson, Frank McCarthy, Andy Thomas, and Thomas Moran. Her favorite watercolor artist and mentor is Brienne Brown.

Lori enjoys horseback riding and adventures in the western states, playing the fiddle and banjo, clogg dancing, and competitive defensive pistol shooting.

She resides in a small log cabin with her husband Rocky and dog/cat Shorty.
