Lori Greene

Lori Greene, born in Minneapolis, MN, is a mosaic and textile artist whose work draws from her African and Native American (Mississippi band of Choctaw) heritage and connects deeply with her community. Greene’s process of working with primarily tile and glass is both artistic and spiritual, as her mosaic textiles tell stories embodying strength, power, and memory of the cultures and history woven into them. Her work is community-oriented and community-focused. Through her public art and collaborative projects, she works to reflect the untold narratives of people of color in her community. She has a BFA from California College of the Arts and an MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art. She is also a mother of three and small business owner of the art studio Mosaic on a Stick. She is a recipient of two Bush Artist Fellowships, MN State Arts Board Cultural Community Partnership award, COMPAS Community Art Program Grant, and Minnesota State Arts Board Arts Learning Grant. She is recognized both for her artistic work, community and cross-cultural efforts, and her art is in collections all over the world.
