assignment in those days (1951). As a five-year-young child, Lorr felt a physical and electric sensation from head to toe in drawing with a crayon. Lorr’s innocent acceptance of the permission to express the inner self visually and colorfully, had her hooked for life. Lorr was not told to “draw what you FEEL” again, including in college art departments. Regardless, the thrill of creative freedom that she found with those words in kindergarten stays with her. This set the conditions for her studio life,
and as a teaching artist for decades to come. Lorr attended Newark School of Fine Arts in 1966, and continued her higher education in art in Cincinnati. In 1976, Lorr earned an MFA from Queens College, New York, where she created and sold artwork for many years.
