A nationally licensed artist since 2018, Lori's work has been featured on numerous products ranging from fabrics, cross stitch kits, and hand and machine embroidery patterns, to puzzles, stationery, and home and garden decor. Whether a small drawing of her great-grandmother's vintage sewing machine, a painting of a Siberian Husky, a digital rendition of her grandfather's snow machine innovations, or her interpretation of her own adventures hiking and living in nature, each piece of Lori's art has its own story.

At the mouth of the beautiful Blacksmith Fork Canyon in Cache Valley, Lori shares her love of traditional hand arts at a teaching facility adjacent to her studio. A certified embroidery designer and instructor, she teaches hand applique and embroidery to students of all ages and abilities. In addition, she teaches the art of barn quilt painting and its related historical significance. Lori has also written for regional and national publications. It is her passion to help others discover and celebrate their creative abilities as a means of enhancing emotional resilience and cognitive skills, as well as finding hope and purpose.
