Lorena Angulo, current San Antonio resident and owner of Pueblo Folk Art, was born in
México where she had a first hand opportunity to experience the diverse
cultural and artistic expressions of her country. She lived in almost all the
states in México where she was exposed to a large variety of
hand made art crafts.She initiated her studies in Mass Communication Sciences at the Universidad Iberoamericana Noroeste in Baja California, México, to later continue with her major in Mass Communication 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 own print shop, she moved to Princeton, New Jersey, to start her own family. Motivated by a nostalgic feeling and her passion for Mexican folk art, her natural artistic talents came afloat when Lorena started to create her own pieces to decorate her house. In 2003 Lorena and her family moved to San Antonio where the same passion and appreciation for art motivated the opening of the first Pueblo Folk Art retail store in the Stone Oak area. Lorena specializes in "Repujado" or Metal Embossing, that is inspired by the ancient art of repoussé, the radiance of the metal becomes more enchanting when its surface is embellished with a raised design that comes alive little by little from a flat sheet of metal, most often aluminum or copper. 
She also creates original figures such as angels, flowers, catrinas, etc, in
polymer clay, and recently started to design and produce unique jewelry
pieces combining semi precious stones and sterling silver.Lorena recently participated as invited artist to a full day art workshop at a local elementary school where students of all grades had a chance to learn hands on the technique of repujado. We invite you to visit Lorena's pages to take a closer look at her work.
