A gentle offering for those grieving
If you recently lost a loved one, I offer complimentary memorial portraits (one subject) as a way to honor their memory with care and softness. Additional subjects may include an added fee.Â
To reserve your place in line, a $20 request deposit is still required and includes a Lori in Theory greeting card mailed to you with care. This is still subject to availability.
Â
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
You will receive an email from orders@lorintheory.com within 2 business days to discuss the details of your project.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE THE FINAL PIECE?
Your project timeline will be discussed via email after your spot has been reserved. A separate initial deposit will then be required to officially begin your custom artwork project.
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE PIECE?
You will receive a high-resolution digital file in a 4:5 ratio that can be printed in any size you prefer. If you would rather have it professionally printed for you, you may specify your desired size within that ratio and we can handle the printing and shipping for an additional fee.
Meet The Artist
Lori Saint Rome is a Haiti-born civil engineer who returned to art during the stillness of the pandemic. When women began telling her they felt seen in her pieces, everything changed. Her understanding of her God-given assignment deepened over the years.
Though her name has to be featured on here in some way, to her this is the work of the Lord and this belongs to the Lord and she is simply a steward.
She didn't set out to build a brand. She set out to create the art she couldn't find anywhere. Art that reflects Black womanhood with dignity, softness, and calm.
Every piece begins as a digital hand-drawn original.
