Lorri Primavera creates original works inspired by architecture, sculpture, furniture, color and the human form. A trained fine artist with an education and background that includes painting, fibers, clay. concrete, wood, mosaic and metals, Lorri traces her passion for art to early childhood. “ My father was a furniture maker and I remember spending countless hours watching and working in his studio. However, even at a young age I knew I was drawn to smaller objects.”
She believes in “less is more” and her juxtaposition of color and forms give her work a quirky beauty and diversity. “I strive to create designs that rise above trends and have lasting beauty. I make jewelry that makes sense to real people. What I love most is when people tell me how good they feel wearing my pieces. It’s a very intimate process from start to finish.”
In 1997 Lorri, along with Mary Gordon and Marion Kassab, founded Heron Studios, a working artist community in a local old mill building. Today, more than fifteen artist have studios in the building.“ It is such an inspiring community for me where critique and camaraderie are always on hand. It keeps me centered and connected to the arts in a way that having an isolated studio couldn’t.”
