Lorena Angulo

Lorena was born in Mexico where she had a first hand opportunity to
experience the diverse cultural and artistic expressions of her country
while traveling around Mexico.

She lived in Chiapas, Mexico for the first years of her life which gave
her a wonderful experience and memories about the folk art and the
amazing jewelry that native Indians wore and made for special occasions.

Lorena initiated her studies in Mass Communication Sciences at the
Universidad Iberoamericana Noroeste in Baja California, Mexico to later
continue with her major in Mass Communications and Advertising at the
University of Texas at El Paso.

After several years of doing art and graphic design, as well as managing
the business side of her family’s printing shop, she moved to Princeton,
New Jersey to start her own family.

In 2003 Lorena and her family moved to San Antonio, Texas where her
passion and love for art motivated her to study metals at the South West
School of Art and Craft. It was in this school where Lorena had her first experience with metal clay through the hands of a wonderful teacher, Claire Holliday.

Lorena’s work is full of her culture and traditions from Mexico, every piece has a story to tell.

Lorena earned her certification from Rio Rewards and is a member of PMC Guild, SNAG and MCASA (Metal Clay Artists in San Antonio.)
