She is wise and we are lucky to live in a world where she shares her stories through her art. We are so happy to carry some of her beautiful creations at Three Bird Layne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis 5 x 7 card includes one of Lori Portka's paintings.

You could find me huddled over a sketchbook with colored pencils, pencil shavings, and crayons spread all around the table. I loved to pretend that I worked for Hallmark and made cards for my family, complete with a logo on the back. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWhen I graduated from high school, I decided to pursue a safe and more traditional career and worked as a teacher and counselor for many years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut after going through a painful time, I found my way back to my art as a way to heal. I wanted to keep gratitude front and center in my life, even through the hard times, so I started a gratitude project I called, 100 Thank Yous. I made 100 paintings for 100 people who had a positive influence on my life and held a gallery show with all the art. After the show, I delivered the paintings to each person I was grateful for.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLori lives in Asheville, NC where she continues to share her life affirming messages through her artwork. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lori Portka - Happiness Through Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45844036845612,"sku":"416-C","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/6752\/0044\/files\/bd33bca7018f3bdeb5762195ea8338d6c09212bccfb4f7815aa479da3070cd94.jpg?v=1785030626","url":"https:\/\/www.threebirdlayne.com\/products\/grateful-you-exist-in-the-world-blank-inside","provider":"Three Bird Layne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
