ABOUT

 

Art has always been a central passion in Lauri’s life. Growing up in Pennsylvania, she spent much of her time visiting her grandparents on Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay with her family. The love for tradition, history, and charm stayed with her as she relocated to the Midwest during her teenage years. Falling in love with the lakes and the outdoors, her appreciation for nature continued to flourish amidst the beautiful Minnesota landscape.

Lauri grew up with parents who shared a deep love and appreciation for art. Their home was adorned with beautiful pieces, many of which they still cherish today. Her own passion for art began in childhood and persisted through college, where she studied painting and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Today, Lauri strives to recreate those meaningful experiences with her husband and children, often visiting her parents in Florida. Influenced by her travels and the unique perspectives she captures in her photographs, her paintings reflect how she perceives the world around her. She and her husband reside just outside Minneapolis, where they enjoy spending time with their two children and beloved dog, Duke.

Lauri is deeply grateful for the kindness and support she has received over the years. She extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who has purchased her art and encouraged her to keep creating.
