Our Story

Founder's Message

Having worked as an educator and mental health professional for over 20 years, I saw the need to reimagine educational facility design to help students make meaningful connections to their learning environment and rediscover the beauty of learning!

Learning In Color is transforming the built environment of K-12 schools. Joined by a community of visual artists, contractors, and vested partners, we are designing vibrant, color-rich, art-filled learning environments where ALL students excel!

OUR BELIEF is that the built environment of K-12 educational facilities influences student and staff behaviors and that the infusion of vibrant color and visual art with inspiring messages and imagery promotes a positive school climate and improves student learning outcomes.

Our Featured Artist: Lori Smith

Meet Lori Smith.

Ms. Smith is a visual artist and art teacher who quickly realized the effects of color psychology on students.

She says, "School can kind of feel like prison, but when kids walk in and see color and images it becomes a place where they want to be. It makes a huge difference."

By knowing first-hand the impact that color has on learning, Ms. Smith is creating life changing learning environments using her incredible gift of ART!
