Hello. I’m Lori-Lyn.

I’m a writer and artist living in Lexington, Kentucky, with my partner and our pug. We grow native plants and travel to New York as often as possible. You can read more of my story here.

I hold a BA in studio art and an MFA in fiction writing. My written work has been featured in print and digital publications including Words Dance and A More Perfect Union. I’m currently at work on a young adult novel. I have exhibited at places like Art and Invention Gallery and City Gallery. You can see a portfolio of my work here and a gallery of paintings here.

I write Creative Living Diaries, a newsletter for midlife creatives, late bloomers, magical thinkers, genx rememberers, and beautiful oddballs. You could start with More on Being Weird or the Worst I Ever Felt to get a sense of what I write there. It’s free to read and includes my monthy Love List plus weekly Five On Friday posts.

I have long been a spiritual explorer who questions theologies and the nature of reality. I am publishing a book called Cosmic Heart, as a serial to my paid subscribers. If you’re interested in the places where cultural indoctrination and mystical phenomenon intersect, plus my own experiences with psychic studies, spirit guides, and philosophy, you might like it. You could start with It’s a Shame About Doreen or Explorations in Reality or read the first chapter, Red Light, Green Light.

I wrote a light romance seasonal story series called Red Velvet. You can download it as a PDF and read it while you sip a latte and eat a chocolate cupcake.

☕️ I’m available for contract work. Please contact me here.

Thank you for visiting.
