Artist Exposed

"I owe my love and appreciation of art to my mother Gwenn. A gifted painter, she always transported her children along with her paintings to all of the major Northern California juried art shows."

Lori Almeida grew up in Northern California. She studied art and design at both California State University, Sacramento, and the Academy of Art College, San Francisco, where she received distinguished recognition for her work as a graphic design student. She holds an Associate of Arts degree from Santa Rosa Junior College where she resumed painting in 2005. She still resides in Northern California.

Since 1983, she has collaborated with other designers, illustrators, and art directors to produce a wide range of work including posters, cookbooks, comic books, and cosmetic packaging for regional, national and international clients:
DARK HORSE COMICS, Portland Oregon;
SIMON & SCHUSTER PUBLISHING, New York, New York;
ARSOA COSMETICS,  Japan;
PATTI BUTTITTA DESIGN, Healdsburg, California;
HEARTHSONG CATALOG, formerly of Sonoma County, California.
