I’m Lori, an artist living near the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. Painting is where I find calm, joy, and clarity.

After many seasons of life—raising a family and caring for my parents—art became both my refuge and my way forward. Creating gives me a place to notice things, to play, and to make meaning from ordinary moments.

My work includes expressive watercolors, colorful patterned doodles, and the playful Quirky Birds Collection. I create art to bring a little light, humor, and connection into everyday life.

Thanks for being here.
