About the Artist: Lori Mitchell

For nearly two decades, Lori Mitchell has been enchanting collectors with her distinctive folk art figurines — whimsical, hand-painted characters that draw from vintage illustrations, children's literature, and antique toys to evoke the warmth of simpler times.

A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Lori creates every piece from her home studio in Richmond, Virginia. Her signature style is instantly recognizable: expressive rosy-cheeked faces, bold color palettes, meticulous hand-painted detail, and — of course — the crazy striped socks that have become her trademark.

Each figurine has a name, a personality, and a story. Once a design sells out, it doesn't come back — which is what makes collecting Lori Mitchell pieces so special.
