Liora's work is a reflection of her unique vision of the world.  She attended Parsons School of Design in New York, which honed her eye for design and color. Living and traveling in Europe as an adult has had a great influence, as evidenced in her European series. Liora grew up in Norwalk, Connecticut, and has been living and working mostly in South Florida since 1986.  She has been a full time artist since the late eighties.

Exhibits include curating and exhibiting in “Doing Business As Artist Entrepreneur” (DBA) 2011, a solo show at the Gildor Pastor Center Gallery at The World Trade Center in Monte Carlo, a series of solo shows at the Northern Trust Banks, Broward College and numerous galleries.

Commissions have been created in South Florida for The Stranahan House (their centennial poster), The Bonnet House (historical properties in Fort Lauderdale), Sunfest, Las Olas Art Fairs (5 of their official posters), several restaurants in the south of France, Easter Seals, and  the poster for The Red Cross Designer Show House in 2007.  Liora designed and created a series of murals at Joe DiMaggio's Children's Hospital.  Early in her career, she was commissioned to paint 2 wooden eggs for the White House Easter Egg roll.  That year, she was in the company of Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenburg, and Maurice Sendak, to name a few.  Those pieces all are housed in the Smithsonian Museum's permanent collection.  

Collections include The Smithsonian Museum, the Virginia Beach Center for Contemporary Art, The Art of Living Foundation, and Northern Trust Bank.

In 2011, Liora's signature work, "Wake Up Save the Earth...” was licensed to Oxford University Press for a text book cover, Justice in a Globalized World, by Valentini
