“It’s all about the viewers’ experience and bringing them joy.”
Lori Rivera's artistic journey began with using art as a form of self-directed therapy, but her artistic style has evolved over the years, becoming more uplifting and focused on bringing joy and excitement to the viewer.
Drawing from her own experiences of overcoming dark times in her life, she aspires for her artwork to serve as a positive energy source in the spaces where it is displayed. Her goal is to bring a sense of well-being and upliftment to her collectors, creating a happier atmosphere.
“We think it’s truly amazing to see how customers react to her art. It speaks to them and just gives them a sense of happiness.” - Jessica Inman
Wife, mother, artist and Evansville native, Lori paints with acrylics from her home studio.

Lori's primary passion is in painting abstracts, as they provide her with the opportunity to create something meaningful from deep emotions and intangible aspects of life. While she also explores other subjects like still life, portraits, and landscapes, abstract art allows her to tap into her emotions, whether current or from memories, and convey them in a way that resonates with others.
Even though Lori’s favorites are abstracts, she still makes time for quirky paintings of objects too, like those below.
Why Choose a Local Framer over an Online Option?
You may see options for framing online, but there are many reasons to choose a local framer. First, you get a personalized experience that you can’t get online. We help you through the entire process, sharing our knowledge of framing with you while you choose the perfect frame, mat color, and glass. You may have questions and we can answer them on the spot.
Another reason to choose a local framer is that you have the opportunity to see the mat and frame samples in person. There’s no guessing on color as sometimes colors aren’t a true representation on a computer. Like anything else, you get a better vision in person of how the frame will look with your piece. You just can’t get the same feeling shopping online.
Even though size in inches may be listed online, sometimes it can be difficult to visualize the size in relation to the piece you’re framing. But in person you can immediately see how small or large a frame is and how that size works with your piece. There’s also no shipping cost to worry about when choosing a local framer.
