It all started with a childhood in Haiti
Where I grew up in a family of creatives, surrounded by art and photography in my father’s studio. I started drawing at a young age, and creativity was never separate from my life.
Yet I was equally drawn to numbers and science so I ended up studying civil engineering after moving to Florida.
Honor Your Identity
In 2020, during the pandemic, something in me shifted
While we were in lockdown, and in the middle of very stressful seasons at work and in my personal life, I began drawing again and participating in virtual paint nights with friends. I then gifted myself an iPad so I could create wherever I was.
Those moments became small pockets of peace and joy. When I began sharing my work online, I was deeply moved by how many women said they felt seen in my pieces. In 2021, Lori in Theory was born.
What you see every day shapes you. Choose intentionally.
In 2025, as I evolved, so did Lori in Theory
What began as a desire to nurture inner radiance deepened into something clearer and more anchored. As my relationship with Jesus grew, so did my understanding of the work I had been entrusted with.
Research shows that what we surround ourselves with shapes how we feel, see ourselves, and experience belonging. Yet Black women have historically been underrepresented and misrepresented in art.
Lori in Theory exists to change that through intentional artwork that reflects Black women with softness, peace, dignity, and joy reminding women they are fearfully and wonderfully made so they can live with intention.
Not every piece is meant for every wall.
Living with intention means creating with intention.
From the moment a piece is drawn to the way it is released into the world, every decision is deliberate. I believe art should not be endlessly reproduced or detached from meaning.
Each work is offered as a limited edition so that it may find the home it belongs to and the woman it reflects. When a piece resonates, it is not accidental. It is alignment.
Every limited edition includes a certificate of authenticity, marking its place within a finite body of work.
Because what is created with intention should be collected with intention.

Our Beliefs About You
You Are The Light Of The World
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.”
Matthew 5:14 NLT
You Are Carriers Of His Glory
“So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.”
2 Corinthians 3:18 NLT
You Are The Crown Of God's Creation
“So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
Genesis 1:27-28 NLT
And because of that, one truth remains at the center of this work:
The most beautiful masterpiece is you.
