About Loretta

Loretta Grayson’s work sits at the intersection of art and craft, exploring pattern and colour relationships to create luminous, abstracted, imaginary landscapes. Her artwork celebrates colour and light and is heavily influenced by map imagery, literature and poetry.

 

Loretta’s geometric treescapes have gained worldwide popularity, and her artwork is used in school classrooms to teach colour theory. Oil pastel and mixed media are used to create richly coloured, velvety and prismatic images. Light-filled geometric illustrations in gouache interpret the landscape using patterns found in traditional crafts such as crochet and quilting, with skies that tell emotional and personal stories of the artist’s connection to her rural environment.
