Eris Lorienne is an multidisciplinary artist, poet, and storyteller whose work weaves together themes of identity, ancestry, and spiritual connection. Born in Guadeloupe and raised on the lush island of Dominica before immigrating to York, Nebraska, in 1997, Eris channels their rich heritage as a Black, queer woman into every artwork and verse. With roots in West African, Caribbean, and Indigenous traditions, they merge these influences into vibrant, ethereal creations that explore the intersection of migration, resilience, and self-discovery.

Eris’s art collection, “THIS IS ME: Threads of Ancestral Light,” is a stunning testament to their journey to honor their ancestors and envision new paths of belonging. Eris’ poetry reflects the same depth and whimsy, inviting connection with the timeless dance between earth and cosmos. A natural innovator with an Aquarius Sun and Sagittarius Moon, Eris crafts works that transcend boundaries, revolutionizing how we see ourselves and our interconnected stories tying in patterns and shapes that mirror and expand the theories surrounding Metatron's Cube, a sacred geometric figure in mystical traditions, the works of Nikola Tesla and mathematical artistic expressions based on the Fibonacci sequence.

Eris has pursued art professionally in Nebraska for over 18 years and their work has been featured and displayed at Nebraska Furniture Mart, the Bemis Center, College of Saint Mary, and the BFF Gallery. Eris is a published author, who wrote and illustrated a book "Pinapel and Friends. Who Are they?", which can be found locally at the Bookworm, City Limits, and Made in Omaha.

In addition to being a self-taught artistic creative, Eris earned Bachelor's degree in Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from the College of Saint Mary. Eris has been doing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work professionally dating back to 2007 starting at Woodmen of the World Life Insurance and has been featured in Omaha Woman Magazine and Omaha World-Herald for work uplifting the female, BIPOC, Queer, disabled, and Indigenous American communities here in Omaha and beyond. You can also find Eris as part of a display inside the Kiewit Luminarium in Omaha, Nebraska.
