Lori Moretti is a painter whose work examines the psychological tensions shaping contemporary life. Rooted in her experience coming of age during a pivotal cultural shift in expectations of women, her paintings explore how identity forms within systems of intimacy, power, and social conditioning. Working primarily in acrylic, she balances representation with abstraction, allowing fractured surfaces and softened forms to reflect interior strain and ambiguity.

Moretti earned dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Fine Arts and Psychology from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. These disciplines inform her practice; her work is less concerned with narrative than with emotional undercurrents - the unspoken dynamics that define relationships and collective experience. Much of her work is figurative, though she explores similar themes in abstract work, landscapes, and cityscapes, finding emotional resonance in common places. In recent years, she has felt urgency to create work that confronts forces eroding civil rights, particularly women’s, and silencing dissent in an effort to bear witness and affirm that art can speak truth to power.

Her work has been exhibited at Bromfield Gallery, Woman Made Gallery, James Library & Center for the Arts, the Mosesian Center for the Arts, Art Center Sarasota, and the New Hampshire Art Association Biennial. Moretti lives and works in the Boston area.
