Meet Jackie

Artist, designer, and Founder of Lore and Lotus.

A self-proclaimed third-culture kid raised on the white sandy beaches of St. Martin/St. Maarten, “the friendly island”, in the Caribbean.

Due to her unusual upbringing, Jackie grew up immersed in blended cultures, and developed a deep love of the sea, the color blue, and global artisan goods.

As an artist, designer, and curator who loves to collect beautiful things on her travels, Lore and Lotus was inevitable.

"I’ve dreamed of owning my own store since I was 15. Even back then it was inspired by the sea, and cultural handmade handicrafts imported from all over the world, treasures found at eclectic shops from St. Martin's "Melting Pot" background. I was heavily influenced by rich Caribbean colors, vibrant French colonial architecture, and the intricate handicrafts of Asia, especially those from (Bali) Indonesia, Thailand, and India.

As an artist myself, that passion for color, culture, and craft became my foundation. I've since added environmental and social impacts to those goals, too. Hence, our standards for conscious business."

Conscious Business

From a teenager's love of global artifacts to a conscious lifestyle brand:

With age came a more conscious lifestyle, and a desire to support those who work so hard to make the beautiful things that decorate our lives. With that in mind, Lore and Lotus is consciously curated from sustainable / ethical sources, so everyone benefits, from the artisans to our customers.

"I started Lore & Lotus to curate and share beautiful, meaningful handmade pieces that honor global makers, conscious materials, and the craftsmanship that connects us all."
