The Erie Times News Showcase review describes Korsmo's drawings as "inviting the viewer to pause in the present" to enjoy Korsmo's "intricate work" of "lines and circles" inspired by mathematics and textiles.

The Erie Times News writes that artist Lori Korsmo "devotes herself to art the way a monk dedicates himself to prayer, by shutting out every worldly distraction."

Cleveland's Art Hopper says that Korsmo's "austere and rich drawings straddle the divide between structure and chaos, discipline and abandon.”
