Biography

Lori Reed was raised on a farm in central Illinois. She received her BFA from the University of Illinois and spent most of her adult life running a graphic design business. She’s been making mixed media collages for the past 20 years. Lori cuts her digitally altered photos into strips and combines three versions of the scene to layer up the image. She then embeds vintage postage stamp fragments, maps, text or shredded money in the final layer.
