Lori is inspired by the organic forms found in nature, from the simple to the intricate, the minuscule to the vast, as well as the painterly quality of the gemstones she chooses for her work. The gemstones guide her as she creates each piece from the ground up. Lori appreciates the potential for the metal to provide its own input while being melted and manipulated, often resulting in spontaneous forms or chance circumstances that further inspire the direction of a piece.
