Hi! I'm Lori McKinnon and I have been very creative for as long as I can remember!Ā
Over the years, I have tried many varieties of art mediums, which have given me immense pleasure, experience and insight. I have gone from a little girl who loved coloring books and playing Spirograph to creating lamp work beads, fused glass and jewelry as well as resin, clay, drawing, painting and much more!
I am especially drawn to color and whimsy and I tend to make whatever makes me happy!
I'm have worked in corporate America and it never felt like home to me.... Art is where I call home
I have roots in New England being born and raised in Massachusetts.... but I also have my current coastal lifestyle that gives me amazing inspiration.
Ā I find great joy in creating original paintings, art prints, functional art and more! I let my heart and imagination lead the way and see where I end up... intuitive painting is normally my "go-to"
I absolutely love what I do and I love sharing it with you! I send you my deepest gratitude and love for your support in this journey of mine. Aside from opening my working studio and consignment art shop here on AMI (Anna Maria Island).... another way that I like to give back is throughĀ creating inspiring YouTube videos which you can find here:Ā Lori McKinnon Art on YouTube
