Lovelady, Lori

Gifted artist and writer, Lori Lovelady, grew up in Oklahoma and Kansas before moving to California at the age of 20. She began selling her paintings right out of high school but credits the birth of her daughter, Gabrielle and son, Nathanael, for directing her art toward children. Her first children's book was, "Nathanael's Good Imagination." The tragic death of her son, Nathanael, has increased her desire to help others who struggle with their own loss. Her book, "Nattie's Daddy" was created to give hope and comfort to others.
