Lori grew up as a pastor's daughter and one of 10 children in a small town in Washington State.  For the last 21 years she has lived in or around Grand Rapids , Michigan.  She is happily married to her amazing, loving husband of 4 years now.  They have five fabulous children and two beautiful grandchildren, all of whom they enjoy spending quality time with.  For as long as Lori can remember, she's loved the outdoors, which has also greatly inspired her creativity.  She's always loved to draw and paint and in more recent years, she's been inspired to share her God given talent with others around her through prophetic paintings and artwork.  Through her own experience of heartbreak and new found love, God has used her story to share His love, peace and hope. I have had the privilege of ministering alongside Lori for several years now.  You will be so blessed by this woman.  She    is truly a carrier of God's heart!
