Lori Joy Smith: Illustration & Art

<font face=”arial,helvetica,sans-serif” size=”2″ color=”#8E8E8E”><span>
I relocated from Vancouver to Charlottetown, P.E.I. in 2007. I live with my husband, 2 daughters and cat in a lovely little home on a quiet street.<br /><br />
I have been working as an artist and illustrator since about 2000. Having babies hasn’t slowed me down, instead it has inspired me more than I ever expected.<br /><br />

about-lori-joy-smith

I have been working as a Freelance Illustrator since 2000. I am self taught in most things I do, even though I studied Fine Art at Concordia University.

I live in Charlottetown, P.E.I. with my husband and 2 daughters. Motherhood has been one of the greatest gifts, but also one of my  biggest challenges. Each day is a humbling lesson is trying to balance the 2 great loves of my life, my family and creating.
