Hey! I'm Lorena, a professional 3D artist who specializes in Texturing and Look Development for characters and environments, with a BFA in Visual Effects from Savannah College of Art and Design. Experienced with working on projects ranging in styles from painterly to physically based. Focused on using efficient workflows through well trained artistic and technical abilities.

I have worked from the development of early look of picture to shot work on the following films: Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken, Trolls: Band Together, and The Wild Robot. During my career, I have worked on characters, environments, props, tested early looks and pipeline, helped other artists on my team, created more efficient workflows, built smart materials, and developed a more artistic eye. My experience ranges from photorealistic to painterly textures and look dev styles.

I am always looking forward to learning new techniques, artistically and technically, to improve my workflow and bring new ideas to my crew. I'm always ready to take on any challenge. I love to create detailed and believable CG art through storytelling and research. I also enjoy teaching and mentoring.

I've also had the opportunity to participate in the Intern Mentorship Program at DreamWorks, twice as a mentor, for 6 months total.

Born and raised in Panama City, Panama, a lot of my inspirations for my ideas come from my experience growing up in Latin America and the tropics.
