Lori’s enthusiasm for authentic Italian decorative stuccos led her study Italian plastering in Atlanta, Sarasota, and Verona, Italy, where she obtained her master certification.  She established VeneShe Master Venetian Plastering to focus on bringing natural, eco-friendly plaster finishes and decorative Italian plaster techniques to her clients. As a woman owned and operated business, Lori is one of only a small number of female certified Venetian Plaster artisans trained in Italy, and a focus on authenticity and natural materials distinguishes her work. She has been profiled in Bucks County Town & Country Living, and featured in the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Bucks County Designer Show House. A portfolio of her local work can be viewed online at www.veneshe.com.

Recognized for her skill at developing innovative plastering treatments based upon traditional techniques, she was hand-picked by the manufacturer of Firmolux Bericalce Plaster to train plaster applicators at her Northeast training facility in Easton, PA. Lori now runs several local and national courses per year, ranging from one-day DIY intro classes, to advanced applicator trainings in the US and in Italy.
