Lori grew up in Colorado and spent much of her childhood traveling in the Rocky Mountains. After getting her degree in Fine Art from Colorado State University in 1978, she began a career in Graphic Design. Leaving that behind, she re-discovered her love for the natural world, and began a journey to paint the beauty of her surroundings.
