When asked to define her artistic style, Lori Siebert says that she likes to be a bit of a chameleon. She started taking private art lessons at the young age of 7 and continued to study art throughout high school. This lead to a degree in graphic design from the University of Cincinnati. Her firm, Olika Studios, has developed branding and design programs for influential clients such as Target, Bath & Body Works, Nickelodeon and Universal Studios. Lori began the art licensing arm of her business 15 years ago and now works with several top manufactures in the gift and home decor. She creates everyday in her home studio in Kentucky...sewing, sculpting, drawing, painting meeting with clients and developing concepts with her very talented design team.
