Lori Franklin

Lori is a Minnesota-settled artist with Montana roots, inspired by the natural magic of Big Sky country and the Land of 10,000 Lakes. “Time has sharpened my observations skills to the point that hearing nature’s stories and telling them on canvas is my full-time job,” she says. Lori has worked in mixed media, collage, jewelry, and textiles—but now focuses exclusively on painting. When she’s not observing wildlife in their native habitat, Lori is imagining scenes and stories from the critters’ daily lives—and capturing them on her canvases, creating color-bursting, heart-expanding paintings. Lori is based in Duluth, Minnesota.
