Your Instructor:
Lori is thrilled, mystified, and comforted by her ability to create artwork that speaks to people of all ages. Teaching is a particular gift she has shared with students aged two to 90. Taking advantage of her many moves with her husband and children during his 26 years in the US Coast Guard, she used her visual communications degree and thirst for learning to glean information and expertise in a wide variety of art forms, from realism to abstract. Lori is a synesthete and has a particular interest in synesthesia. She has been chosen to exhibit her basketry at the prestigious Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, where she is now an accomplished and sought-after instructor. She is an illustrator, writer, and also has over twenty books on art education and specialized story enhanced art lessons published by powerhouses such as Evan-Moor and Scholastic. VanKirk-Schue soon became a featured speaker at educational conferences including NAE and NAEA.
