Lori was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She graduated from Humboldt State University in 1984 with a degree in Fine Art. After college she
took a brief detour to the Sierra Nevada where she lived in Truckee. She was first introduced to sand blasted glass while designing windows at a local stained glass studio. Encouraged by her
employers, Lori tried her hand at sandblasting glass. After several months of trial and error, she knew she would pursue this art form further.
Although Lori’s training consisted mostly of drawing and painting, she found employment as a graphic artist, a sign designer, and an art teacher on
the island of Guam. All these experiences were gratifying, but the allure of glass still dominated her artistic interests. Drawn by the magnificent natural beauty of the Cascade Mountains and Puget
Sound, Lori eventually made a landing in the northern Puget Sound region. In 1994 she started her business, “ Blast It Glass” in Bellingham, Washington. Lori uses her drawing talents and understanding of
graphic design in the invention of her exclusive glass panels. Combined with a love of the natural world, it is these abilities that breath magic and beauty into each of her distinctive pieces of art.
Lori and her husband now make their home in the foothills of Mount Baker where they also built Blast it Glass Gallery and Studio.
