About me

---

I was born in Honduras Tegucigalpa DC and a mother of 3 children. I am a graduate from Berkeley College and a board member of the Community Affairs for the Essex County Latin American Chamber of Commerce. In my spare time, I assist the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Consulates as a medical professional for NY and NJ patrons in need of preventive healthcare. 

My journey as an artist began in fashion. I graduated from Instituto Nacional in Honduras as a professional designer in haute couture. Instituto Nacional is a prestigious institution that bore many fine art professionals, craftsmen and artisans. Lorena’s original creations take inspiration from nature in her native land. Dominant is the play of colors in the landscape and ever present life’s diversity. Basking in the creations one can feel the human soul coming out of the canvases. I implement a mixture of different techniques to create true and distinctive pieces of art. As a passionate artist I developed an expertise in the handling of a variety of industrial machines for the manufacture of garments. 

My canvases clearly reveal the influence of Latin American culture as I affirm creativity and God who lives within herself and gives me the wisdom to create my art. 

A number of my art pieces been featured in art galleries such as Art Space in New York, Museo del Barrio NY, in the theaters and many other venues as part of the New Jersey Artists Collective. My life story embodies failures and victories as they are captured in my paintings. 

My approach of lifting others comes from her own experiences, from the time of her broken wings and inability to fly high. Spirit of peace is reflected in the artist’s life and art. Lorena’s favorite phrase, “Never let fear hold you back, what hurt you yesterday is what makes you stronger today” , is like a mantra to my approach to all layers of life and art. 

I have launched Star Finest7 Inc., to fulfill my calling for entrepreneurship with an ability to lift others from poverty and despair to a life of freedom and joy.
