Lorette's signature squares explore the whole world with eclectic curiosity, irreverence, and an eye for both humour and beauty. She takes inspiration from art history, literature, cinema, culture, and personal experiences, mining everything she sees and discovers for its aesthetic possibilities. Her collage paintings are at turns surreal, quirky, urban, abstract, and beautiful. Her squares have been collected in dozens of countries around the world, exhibited internationally, and published on text book covers, in literary journals, and beyond. She creates album sized squares 12x12 inches because they fit into nooks and crannies and small space living. She also creates large and oversized mixed media paintings.

Materials used:

acrylic, pastel, collage
