Biography

Residing in Florida with her Husband, Lori Hlavsa is an accomplished artist. “I hope to take the viewer to a place where Imagination and Dreams really do exist”

At a young age, Lori began to sketch and imagine freely. She began to work as a freelance artist in high school. In the 80’s, Hlavsa’s airbrushed murals on motorcycles, and vehicles were popular. She earned a degree in Advertising Design, from the Fort Lauderdale Art Institute. In 1985 she and husband expanded their family, with a girl, and 1987 a boy. Working part-time, her signs and murals brightened up, homes, daycares, and Broward County schools. Through the 90’s Lori worked with handmade papers, to escape the commercial art. The paper sculptures evolved into humanlike figures of clowns, fairies and dancers. Her mother helped in the production and were sold in art shows, as their children grew up.

After 2000, Lori returns to illustration and mixed-media painting. Much of Hlavsa’s themes come from family, nature, and the inspiration that surrounds her. Lori was a featured artist in South Florida and in her 25-year career, she has displayed her work in over 500 exhibits and has received several awards Customers comment that her work is magical and inspirational.
