Lora Fosberg was born in Waukegan, IL and currently lives and works in Michigan City, IN. She received her BFA from the University of Illinois and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She specializes in painting, printmaking, and sculpture and has shown extensively around the world including Copenhagen, London, NYC, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

​Lora Fosberg’s work speaks to the power of form, the capacity of iconography to create a universal language that communicates the banalities and complexities of the human experience. Fosberg’s process is deeply anthropological, bound up in the intricacies and intimacies of human life—memories, emotions, our relationships with others and with nature. Disarming her viewers through familiar imagery and language in her work, often rendered in an accessible, animated manner, with a touch of cheeky humor, Fosberg affords them the space to regress to a particular memory, a moment of understanding, a conflict, an absence, a connection to another person, or to nature.​
