Ms. Mikol has been involved in the arts on both coasts of Canada, where she grew up, and in Illinois and Wisconsin. She has a Bachelor's degree from UW-Parkside and a Master's from UW-Milwaukee. She has worked at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design for the last three years and has been on the board of the Racine Arts Council for two years.

Hennig has been instrumental in many projects, including SandCastles, Musica Reservata, Quick Draw, art classes at the Racine Youthful Offenders facility and LINK to name a few.
Lorna Hennig has done a lot for the Arts in Racine.
ReplyDeleteThank You for doing so
Lorna has been the "Heart" of the arts in Racine. I would go to Lorna first for any city art idea I would have and her first comment was always "Lets do it". Thanks for everything Lorna! xo
