Lorie Marsh, born in San Francisco, now resides in the beautiful Northern California Wine Country with her husband, two American Eskimo dogs and two cats. She finds that the beauty of nature and the love of her family and pets give her joy and inspiration.

Lorie has an extensive Art background and it has always been foremost in her life. When not creating glass in her studio, Lorie can be seen playing with her pets, taking photographs, enjoying the ocean or even scuba diving, along with many other activities. Much of her artistic inspiration is derived from these sources.

Lorie first saw dichroic glass jewelry in 2004, and it was love at first sight. She took a class to learn the basics, started experimenting with technique and design, and developed the pieces of art that you see today. Now, this creative expression has become Lorie's passion.

Art of the Soul came to Lorie at a sad time in her life. Her beloved Sheltie, Sable, unexpectedly passed away and was cremated. While working in her studio, thinking about Sable, Lorie decided to try something new and very different. At that moment Art of the Soul, an everlasting gift of love and remembrance, was created. These lovely glass keepsakes bring comfort to many of Lorie's clients.

Lorie knows that you will cherish your new treasures as much as she enjoyed creating them for you.
