BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Lori Jenkins never imagined that she would make a career out of her passion for painting.
Although she was an art major, Lori spent her post-grad days working for her family’s business and raising a family.
Her interest in art resurfaced after falling in love with painting using transparent watercolors after taking an art class at a museum.
With encouragement from her art teacher, Lori entered her paintings in a local art show and won.
Lori draws inspiration and mentorship from the various Space Coast artists she works with. “The Space Coast area is flooded with amazing artists,” Lori said. “We nurture and feed off each other.”
