Lorette C. Luzajic is an award-winning mixed media and collage artist who makes large, urban expressionist abstract paintings and small surreal and pop art works. Her art is a kind of archeology or a curiosity cabinet, of fragments of the human experience, past and present, juxtaposed to reveal complicated, contrasting emotions, and the beauty in the sacred and inane. Her work exhibits frequently locally and internationally, in galleries, museums, hotels, nightclubs, offices, and online. It has been featured in an ad campaign for luxury jewelry in Madrid, on a billboard in New Orleans, in real estate stagings, film and television props, and on several fiction, poetry, and two textbook covers. She has collectors in forty countries so far.

Lorette is also a writer, editor, publisher, and educator. She earned her Bachelor of Applied Arts in Journalism at Ryerson University.. Her flash fiction and prose poetry, almost always ekphrastic, meaning inspired by visual art, have been published in hundreds of literary journals, several dozen anthologies, and translated into Urdu, Arabic, and Spanish. Her ekphrastic books include Disgust, The Neon Rosary, The Rope Artist, Pretty Time Machine, Winter in June, and Ragged Psalms (with Rebecca Weigold.) Lorette founded The Ekphrastic Review, the flagship journal of ekphrasis, in 2015. In 2024, she also founded The Mackinaw: a journal of prose poetry. She founded The Ekphrastic Academy in 2020, teaching creative writing and art appreciation for writers. She has also been teaching for over eight years, mixed media art, to clients at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, where she was once a patient.

Lorette is a breast cancer survivor, and lives with chronic pain and impaired mobility from a botched surgery, and several chronic and autoimmune illnesses. She lives in Toronto, Canada.
