Hello and welcome!

My Name is Lori Manoogian.

I am an outgoing-introvert, an artist, mom, teacher and a word-nerd. I believe in magic and that butter is the secret to life.

It is my honor to be a creative guide and cheerleader on this little journey of creative self-expression. 

Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Psst…We are all creative.

The problem is most of us won’t exercise our creativity if we are not first inspired to do so.

As a graphic artist, jewelry designer, glass fusing artist and Zentangle instructor, I share my passion by teaching classes and hosting workshops at private and corporate events.

It is my hope that you will find something here that sparks a little creative flame. So take a look around the site and see if there is something I do that inspires you!

Past work and classes

Stay tuned for future tutorials!

“Lori’s Beyond Words Books give my doodles direction and inspire me to take my creativity to another level! When my kids see what I’m working on they end up finishing my creations with me. we have little masterpieces that we’re all proud of. My 5-year-old especially loves the puns.”
