Avril Loreti

Hello! I’m a designer, illustrator, and lover of all creative exploration. I create vibrant and modern artwork inspired by the everyday world around me. My art combines my love for crisp colour palettes, interlocking geometrics, and bountiful florals. My creative process is a daily practice of playing with patterns, illustrating lunch notes for my kids, and connecting with the world around me through mindful walks around my city and the woods. My artwork is playful, inspired, and evokes feelings of joy, nostalgia, and connection.

I live in Toronto and I’m a Mom to two kids by way of adoption. Bringing my kids’ love for life and their cultural heritage into my life has led to a pretty profound evolution in the way I walk through this world that educates and delights me every day.

When I’m not drawing you’ll find me…

  • Waking up early to my morning crossword.
  • Kitchen dance parties to my fave Punk rock or House playlists!
  • Acting out that first scene of Frozen with my daughter.
  • Walking in my neighbourhood on another hunt for coffee.
  • Practicing on my son’s drum kit.
  • Illustrating lunch notes for my kids!
