About

Hi, I’m Lorena Fernandez, a Venezuelan American artist currently living in Houston, Texas. In my art I like to blend abstract and figurative elements. My goal as an artist is to honor freedom. I believe art can make us feel alive, and I want each piece to ignite delight. Through bold colors, rich textures, and layered compositions, I aim to express the richness and beauty that I see in the world. My journey as an exhibiting artist has taken me from Venezuela, to Singapore, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the USA in Texas and California. 

 

I'm also an Expressive Arts Therapist with a Doctorate from the European Graduate School with the highest distinction of Summa Cum Laude title: THE EFFECTS OF EXPRESSIVE ARTS ON DECISION-MAKING: SENSEMAKING IN SITUATIONS OF COMPLEXITY AND AMBIGUITY. I'm a Registered Expressive Arts Consultant and Educator (REACE) at the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association IEATA.org.
