Lori Faye Bock

A native of Detroit, Michigan and currently living in the beautiful river valley and agricultural community of Abiquiú, New Mexico an hour north of Santa Fe, America's popular animal artist Lori Faye Bock has been creating paintings of whimsical endearing companions in her farm studio for nearly twenty years. Cloistered in her early 18th century adobe home located along the Chama River, Lori Faye Bock is surrounded by a bevy of sheep, dogs and indoor only cats, her inspiration and models are quite close at hand!

Since 1997, she has donated her artistic talents to national organizations such as the American Humane, PetSmart Charities, the A.S.P.C.A. and the Alliance of Contraception of Cats & Dogs as well as scores of animal shelters, rescue groups and humane societies across the country to promote the humane and kind treatment of animals.
