Lori Mitchell

Lori Mitchell Folk Artist

One of the featured artists for The Wooden Duck is Lori Mitchell. Lori was born and raised in Marietta, Georgia. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Lori has always been inspired by children's themes and literature, old illustrations and toys.

 

In 1999 she began making her first paper-mache pieces for the folk art world and has never looked back. Full of whimsy and charm, her characters have won a place in the hearts and collections of folk art enthusiasts worldwide.

 

Lori creates pieces that take people back in time to the magical years of childhood.  When designing, Lori starts off with an idea, but as she sculpts, the characters' unique personalities begin to emerge.  She is known for her exaggerated proportions and expressions...and every piece must have crazy socks!!
