Loreto, Mexico
Wright is currently living in Loreto, Mexico, focusing on a new body of work called, ‘Honoring Loreto’. A series of plein air paintings, drawing inspiration from the charming seaside town with its wonderful light and cultural history. His painting style is infused with rich color and playful impressionist brushwork while marking a deliberate shift from his earlier intense realism and use of chiaroscuro.

The Artworks
For a year, Wright devoted himself to the "Honoring Loreto" series, creating over 25 paintings that celebrate the town's rich heritage. Each morning and evening, he set up his easel in inspiring spots, where vibrant colors burst forth like a dance on the canvas. With every stroke, he infused his heart into the scenes, capturing not only the visual beauty but also the emotions—the warmth of the sun, the soft breeze, and a profound sense of belonging.
