Painting with Lori Siebert
June 24th-28th

Let’s gather with creative kindreds and create side by side. Come join mixed media artist, Lori Siebert, as we create dimensional collages inspired by nature.

Geared towards any level of creator, Lori will share the process she works through to create mixed media pieces incorporating all kinds of shapes, line, color and texture. Learn how Lori uses everyday and accessible materials to add a tactile uniqueness to each piece.

Lori will provide a treasure trove of possible materials and encourages each attending creative to think out of the box and bring additional texture-adding supplies.

When asked to define her artistic style, Lori Siebert says that she likes to be a bit of a chameleon. She started taking private art lessons at the young age of 7 and continued to study art throughout high school. This lead to a degree in graphic design from the University of Cincinnati. Her firm, Olika Studios, has developed branding and design programs for influential clients such as Target, Bath & Body Works, Nickelodeon and Universal Studios.

Lori began the art licensing arm of her business 15 years ago and now works with several top manufactures in the gift and home decor.

She creates everyday in  her home studio in Kentucky...sewing, sculpting, drawing, painting meeting with clients and developing concepts with her very talented design team. Her husband, Steve, is her business partner and she has two children... Kenzie (who is a designer and works closely with her mom at Olika) and Tanner (who is a mechanical engineer.) She also has two grandchildren who light up her life!!!
