“When I’m not working you can find me around town playing ukulele with the sweetest people on Earth, walking Frida The Wild, running with scissors, painting, illustrating, hand lettering, offering henna and jagua “tattoos,” enjoying the now or dreaming up the future with friends and family, and once in a while projecting an old-school liquid light show as LoRay with my adventurous friend The Projektor Kid. Leave your playlist behind and tune into WHYS Radio 96.3FM-LP, Eau Claire’s Community Radio, any hour, but maybe for sure on Sundays from 3-5pm for ‘Moxie, Cadence & Verve.’ See more of my art at portalwisconsin.org’s gallery or set up a studio visit: lori@nextstepenergy.com.” – The Artist
