Lori Vinesett, a native of the vibrant Tampa Bay area, discovered her passion for art at a young age, often drawing and painting on any available surface.
After earning her degrees from the University of South Florida, Lori channeled her creativity into a successful career in education. She eventually decided to redirect her focus and energy toward her true passion: the arts.
Since 2023, Lori has been an integral part of Creative Pinellas, taking on various roles within the organization.
