Lori K. Gordon (born January 20, 1958) is an artist recognized for her series The Katrina Collection, [1]

which consists of mixed-media assemblages incorporating debris from Hurricane Katrina. She is also known for The Labat Project [2] , which has been acquired by the Smithsonian Institution, and Six Degrees: West to East, a work exploring themes related to the relationship between Western and Islamic cultures.

Gordon moved to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, in 1991 and began working with mixed media in 2001. One of her significant works from this period is Labat: A Creole Legacy, an 8' by 10' biographical art quilt that was added to the Smithsonian Institution’s permanent collection. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed her home and studio in Clermont Harbor, Mississippi. Following the disaster, Gordon used salvaged materials to create The Katrina Collection, which has been exhibited in multiple venues across the United States.
