The Big Picture

I'm Lorette, an award-winning mixed media artist; a widely published poet and writer of flash fiction; founding editor of two literary journals, The Ekphrastic Review and The Mackinaw; founder of The Ekphrastic Academy where I teach art appreciation and creative writing; and much more. Looking at art and learning more about it has been my lifelong obsession and fuels all of my creative and professional practices. Here, you will find occasional essays and musings on art and artists. Enjoy!
