Eleonora Kálnoky von Köröspatak was born in Brașov, Romania to a noble Transylvanian family. After leaving Europe following World War II, she immigrated to Washington D.C. where she met her husband, John Bongiovanni. She lived in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, and Texas before moving to Sea Girt, NJ, in 2016. Lori was a prolific artist, master gardener, and life student. She loved to travel with her husband and explored many of the world’s museums and treasures. Above all, she valued her faith and family.

Painting was a great passion. Lori came into her own as an artist during her time in Tyler, TX. The first issue of the Diocese of Tyler newspaper, East Texas Catholic, featured one of her paintings on the cover. Her style has been described as charming and whimsical winning multiple awards and accolades throughout her career. Family, friends, and admirers proudly display her works in their homes.
