Lori Antoinette is a graduate of Fine Art from the University of Maryland, College Park, Lori started out as an oil painter predominantly, later switching to acrylics. She spent 30 years enjoying world travel while working for international airlines, at the same time keeping both hands in the arts. She was in a Los Angeles area art collective and co-owned a downtown gallery with them, became certified in textile design, and had her own wearable arts business. When she discovered chalk on the ground at the first Pasadena (CA) Chalk Festival in 1993, it was love at first chalk, adopting her motto, “Have Chalk, Will Travel!”

A full-time artist since 2014, she has really gone full steam into developing her art career to include wall murals, public art, paint parties and portraiture as well as developing partnerships with other talented artists. She started a social group showcasing her chalk family called Chalk Mafia and recently became a board member for a new arts non-profit, Rural Artists of the Magnificent Mojave (RAMM) based in Pearblossom, CA.
