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.

I graduated from The University of Toronto and Sheridan College with a Bachelors Degree in Art and Art History. In 2007 I realized my dream of starting my own small business. Avril Loreti | Modern Home brought together my love for modern design, artistic exploration, and the desire to make art accessible to everyone, every day in every way! Today my patterns and designs are available for art licensing.
