Fun. Fearless.
Fuss-free. Feel-good.
My art style is all about the F-words. You don’t need the most expensive pens or the fanciest paints to get started as an artist. You just need a fab art-friend who’s a few steps ahead to help you on your way… that’s me!
I’ll teach you how to jumpstart your work in drawing, painting, and picture book-making. Let’s go!
If you can draw a line, you can draw.
As a mostly self-taught artist and children’s author-illustrator working with the biggest names in publishing, I’ve made drawings with hundreds of children and adults. Kids are fearless… until some of them grow into adults who think they “can’t draw.”
Wanna know a little secret? You can draw! Drawing is not about rendering like Rembrandt. Drawing is about process, experimentation, communication, and so much more.
I want you to just have fun with it! So, I’m taking everything I’ve learned so far and sharing it with you in my workshops and how-tos. Let’s super-charge your creativity!
“LORI HAS A REMARKABLE ABILITY TO MAKE THE MOST HESITANT STUDENT FEEL LIKE AN ARTIST.”
CHRIS O’FALT, TEACHING ARTIST AND JOURNALIST
Let’s get the art-y started!
-
Workshops and Classes
Virtual workshops for private groups who want to go on a Zoom adventure in drawing or picture book-making. Great for classroom enrichment, corporate team-building, and more.
-
School Visits
In-person school visits for grades K-2 give young artists and writers an age-appropriate look at how picture books are made. Every visit ends with a lively, interactive drawing game!
-
Creative Kick in the Booty
One-on-one mentoring for people who want to do deeper work on a specific project, but need a push! I’ll work privately with you to set goals, take action, and keep you on track.

VIEW FROM MY RUN
Combining my artistic and athletic practices by drawing something I see on my run, in the same amount of time as the run. As seen in Runner’s World and New York Road Runners.
