“I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.” - Claude Monet
My journey as a textile designer couldn’t be described any better. In painting, I have found the most natural way to express myself. By constantly revealing something new to respond to, art allures me to represent nature. My transient upbringing and travels have influenced my artistic ideas as I explored the details of form and color in the gardens from my childhood. For me, flora and fauna indicate the well-being of the environment—they symbolize life.

Lori Saint Rome
My name is Lori Saint Rome, and I am an illustrator and photographer from Haiti. I am currently based in Orlando, Florida. I draw inspiration from nature, colors, joy, serenity and black people. I grew up loving art, fashion, and all things colorful. I think those things heavily influence my drawings. I love people, nature, flowers, colors, joy, love and style. These things always seem to be a common theme in all my art. Art is therapy for me and I put so much love into every piece hoping my art brings inspiration or joy to people.
