Lori's been a creative coach and artistic guide to me since March. First in person in S. Florida and then remotely (I live in LA). Her insights into navigating the weird/special/scary space between my imagination and mental blockages helped me start creating again with more joy and less tension. With an intuitive ability to connect with others, Lori is incredible both in person and over Zoom. She is engaged but never judgmental and I always feel energized after our convos and exercises (mostly talking, some drawing, almost all related to the internal). I am also happy she's never bored when I share, but it's more of a two way street, I can emotionally understand her life lessons. We usually do a session every week or two. They always feel like meeting an artist who knows how to communicate (rarer in this world that you would think). Lori is someone who has walked the path and is now able -- and good at -- helping others on the same. Do try, I'm glad I did. read more

Lori is a very talented artist and creative who brings a vibrant joyful energy to all she does. It is in the beautiful way she approaches life, even when faced with obstacles and challenges. She approaches her creative work with the same inspiring energy, curiosity and fearlessness. Her warm caring and generous nature are immediately apparent....as I found out the first time I met Lori, through an amazing community of artists, writers and makers. She welcomed me in and put me at ease...right away I felt as if we'd known each other for many years. Chantal read more

It's more than just art - there's healing and love - good vibes everywhere!!! I highly recommend this for any child!!! It's amazingly priced as well. I'm so thankful read more

Lori Arbel is the best find in Parkland! Her artistic skill and teaching ability is second to none. Lori not only has the skill to teach, but also to inspire.
