ABOUT LORI LOEBELSOHN

Lori Loebelsohn received her BFA from the Cooper Union, where she studied painting and drawing.  She received a MS from Hunter College and has taught studio art to high school students.

As a professional illustrator, Lori's work has been published by Harper Collins, Cambridge University Press, Providence Publishing and Eakins Press.  For Lefferts Homestead Children's Museum, Lori did numerous commissions and is currently working on a children's book, a first-hand account of a girl who grew up in the house during the American Revolution.

In addition to creating oil and watercolor portrait commissions, Lori has developed Life Cycle Portraits, an innovative approach to portraiture.  Instead of portraying an objective likeness of a person, Lori creates a narrative of the subject's life including meaningful and symbolic moments, an ideal gift for births, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, weddings and anniversaries.
