Lori earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Alfred University – New York State College of Ceramics Fine Art School and a Master of Science in Art Education from Long Island University – C.W. Post campus. She is a certified K-12 Art Teacher. Additionally, she has continued her art education with post-graduate work in NYC and on Long Island.
Lori has been teaching Fine Art classes on Long Island for over twenty years, both in private and public school settings. The Academy of Fine Arts (Roslyn), North Shore Hebrew Academy (Great Neck), Town of Huntington Creative Arts Program, Half Hollow Hills SD #5, Love of Learning Montessori and West Hills Montessori are some of the institutions where she has taught. In addition to teaching in a school setting, Lori has instructed many private students – children, teens and adults - in drawing, painting and sculpture.

In 1995, Lori founded The Village Artist Fine Art School in Huntington Village. It is here that Lori has been able to inspire students of all ages with her talent and unique approach to teaching fine arts. Her students, from talented young artists to those who have developed an interest as adults, have all gained a new appreciation for the arts under Lori’s guidance.

Lori is a member of the National Association of Fine Artists (NAFA), the National Art Education Association (NAEA) and the Huntington Arts Council.

In addition to teaching, Lori is a professional artist (painter). She sells her paintings, as well as commissioned murals (both commercial and residential). Lori has exhibited her artwork throughout Long Island and New York State.
