Your Ticket to Transformation
Lori Miller – Artist, Business Coach, and Heartfelt Leader for Creative Women
Lori Miller is an artist, creative business mentor, and the founder of Rare Bird Art Studio and The Creative Easel — two vibrant spaces built to empower women in the paint party and creative business world. With over eight years of experience teaching others how to paint and grow, Lori has dedicated her career to helping women turn their creativity into confidence and their passions into profit.
After successfully growing her own business from scratch — not once, but twice — Lori knows firsthand what it takes to build something beautiful out of nothing. She also knows how isolating it can feel to try and figure it all out on your own.
Over the years, Lori watched as many creative business communities were led by strong voices — but often in ways that felt out of reach or closed off. Leadership sometimes came with barriers, gatekeeping, or the unspoken rule that only certain people got to grow.
She believes it’s time for a new kind of leadership — one that brings everyone to the table.
That belief is what inspired her to create Creative Easel LIVE, a two-day business conference coming to Tampa in March 2026. This event is built for women in the paint party, DIY, and creative business industries who are ready to grow — whether they’re just getting started or have been doing this for years and are craving what’s next.
Through hands-on workshops, honest conversations, marketing and AI trainings, and mastermind-style support, Lori is building the kind of community she wishes existed from the start — one where no one is left out, and every woman’s success lifts the others higher.
Because Lori doesn’t just teach business.
She builds belief.
And she knows: when creative women support each other fully, without competition or comparison, everyone wins.
Miss this, and you miss the breakthroughs.
You can keep trying to piece it all together alone…
Or you can be in the room, surrounded by 50+ creative entrepreneurs, learning the exact strategies and mindset shifts that will transform your 2026.
