About Loreen
Making art and creating beautiful things has been a powerful vehicle of change, healing and freedom for me.
Ever since an art class I took in Jr. high, I always loved to find different ways to express my creativity, through sketching, paper crafts, and writing. But it wasn’t until my early adulthood while struggling with depression and anxiety, did I find that creativity had an element of healing and solace to it. My desire to express myself and hone my skill increased over time, especially in my late 30s, when I discovered art journaling. In the last decade, while grappling with past abuse and managing mental illness, I have found art not only to be healing while creating it, but healing in the things that God speaks to me in the finished work.
Lifestyle
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my husband and furbabies. When I’m not painting you will find me crafting, reading, or singing. I enjoy laughing with my husband, snuggling with my animals, and traveling – whenever and wherever.
Artistic Style
I love creating colorful, inspiring, mixed media oil paintings that celebrates the kind of beauty that can be found anywhere! I am inspired by so many things around me, which include colors, stories and things that make music. I strive to create art that evokes a sense of joy and inspiration, encouraging people to a deeper faith and greater courage.
