Loriene Pearson is a Minnesota photographer and emerging artist whose embroidered work focuses on reciprocity. She is a feminist, urban Indian and a member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. Her embroidery work "MMIW: Break the Chain" was seen early 2021 at the "Bring Her Home: Sacred Womxn of Resistance" exhibit in Minneapolis' All My Relations Gallery. Her work “She Heals Me” was also on display during All My Relations Gallery exhibit called, “Noojimo: She Heals” summer of 2022. In July of 2021, Loriene was awarded Best of Division - Emerging Artists at Native POP (People of the Plains) in Rapid City, SD. She was selected and completed the American Craft Council's three-month long Emerging Artist Cohort. Loriene's work was seen at the Sioux Indian Museum, located in the Journey Museum in Rapid City, South Dakota. Her solo exhibition “Contemporary Threads : Traditional Notions” ran from May 21 - August 29, 2022.

Loriene's self-taught artwork initially began with photography. Her pow wow photographs inspired her to translate Winnebago women's applique to embroidery. She also found inspiration for her designs from her family, from her tribe and from the land. She designs and draws her own patterns, and then embroiders each piece by hand. The threads’ colors are carefully chosen by instinct and the stitches decide on their own where to be applied.
