Through my use
of color and texture, I create raw artistic pieces that reveal a sense
of depth and beauty. My paintings feature a multitude of layers and colors,
the two components of art I am most passionate about. I share what I love
about art with you by composing paintings that engage the eyes and offer
something new every time you look at them.

Bio
Colors and textures are what
move Lori Messler, a self-taught decorative artist who is known locally
for transforming peoples’ homes into unique works of art. Since
childhood, Lori has always been involved in some form of art, including
painting, floral design, jewelry-making and fashion.
Born in East Windsor, NJ, Lori moved to Atlanta in 1991. In 2003, after
engaging in a personal home painting project, she realized her professional
purpose in life was to be an artist. Shortly thereafter, she started Art
de Faux, her multi-faceted business that includes decorative finishes,
fine art and interior design.
Lori is fulfilled by the act of creating, something that also serves as
a primary means for her self-expression. Featuring multiple layers and
colors, her paintings are raw artistic pieces that reveal a sense of depth
and beauty. She has been commissioned by many local residents to create
these original paintings for their homes and businesses, including the
owner of KoKo Ri Boutique. Her artwork has been shown at Demure Boutique
and Underground Atlanta and she has contributed pieces to various charity
auctions.
With regard to decorative finishes, Lori has worked her magic on countless
residential and commercial projects throughout the Southeast. Her repertoire
includes timeless finishes, aged techniques, plaster alternatives and
metallic embellishments, to name a few. One of her many noted projects
is Café Dupri, the Atlanta restaurant owned by music mogul Jermaine
Dupri.
Most recently, Lori has made a foray into interior design work. This was
a natural progression for Art de Faux as this skill allows Lori to use
her love of colors and textures in a different medium – designing
and decorating peoples’ homes. Aside from choosing color palettes
and incorporating decorative finishes, she adds furniture, appliances
and accessories, making an ordinary room extraordinary.
