How I found beauty in myself through my business - Lora Lee Artist

You know that quote, “Love gives you wings?” Well, my love story is different. My name is Lora Lee and my love gave me roots. 

I met Wayne in 2011 through an online dating site. It was like meeting your best friend from high school. We talked for hours on end and watched the sun come up several mornings. Our phones were always plugged into the wall because we were killing the batteries. This man changed my life.

After two marriages ended that were full of mental and emotional abuse, I was just a shell of a woman with no true sense of self. Within a month of meeting Wayne, I took a huge leap of faith and moved out of my home state to join Wayne in Louisiana. When I did, he gifted me a coin ring that he’d made as a promise ring. I was stunned and curiosity bit me hard! I’ve created things with wood, I’ve quilted, gardened, and raised animals, but had never worked with jewelry or metal. I just had to learn more about these “coin rings.”
