Meet Lori Larusso, Lexington visual artist and the South Arts Kentucky State Fellow in the third annual Southern Prize competition. Lori represented Kentucky among the nine other State Fellow, each from one of the South Arts member states, last month at the Southern Prize awards ceremony in Columbia, S.C.
On this episode we’re chatting with Lori about her life in art, the work that earned her the distinction of Kentucky State Fellow and what awards like that, and her 2012 Al Smith Individual Artist Fellowship, have meant to her as an artist.
