Lori's goal is to make people aware of the huge role that animals play in the lives of many people - as partners, not just as pets. Service dogs in particular can accomplish many tasks that technology is still not yet able to do. Service dogs can be vital parts of search and rescue efforts in the face of disasters as well as be paths to independence for humans with special needs. Canine partners have the ability to alert their human companion to a medical condition as well as provide an emotional support that another human couldn't - they are a divine gift to be cherished.

“Friends to the Rescue”
(greeting cards)
This image was inspired by the brave humans and canines of the NDSDF. It takes $10,000 to raise and train just one search dog that saves so many lives in disasters like 9-11 and Hurricane Katrina. Founded following the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, the NDSDF is the only organization that rescues, trains and pairs professionally-trained dogs with firefighters at no cost to the firefighters. These FEMA certified disaster teams are a valuable resource for communities across the nation.

“Partners”
(greeting cards)
A service dog provides great opportunities for an independent life and can become a true blessing for someone that uses a chair, fatigues quickly or has seizures. A human "helps", often leaving the recipient feeling like a burden, while a dog is a partner as they will each depend upon each other for care and companionship. A dog helps with emotional needs as well and will provide comfort to the human when upset or frustrated. This painting is a tribute to partners everywhere.

“Ripening Fruits”
(greeting card)
This painting was created for the 2007 CPL annual wine auction. It was auctioned off for nearly $3000 and all of the proceeds went to support CPL. The image represents the amazing fruits that the future brings to all things through growth and effort.
