About me

Hi, I am Lorena

I want to bring as many people as possible into making art — or back to it. I think it’s a wonderful way to unwind after a busy day, connect with ourselves and have some creative fun.

Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, many of us decide that we either can make art or we can’t. I’m here to tell you that art is for everyone. It doesn’t matter what it looks like — it only matters how it feels.

A little about me

I live with my husband and daughter in the beautiful countryside outside Gothenburg, Sweden. I’m originally from Germany, but have also spent many years living in London, UK, and Lyon, France.

I’ve worked in online marketing for over 15 years, so I know first-hand the stress and anxiety that can come with a fast-paced job. I’m a lifelong learner, with degrees and certificates in Social Anthropology, Pedagogics, Marketing, Positive Psychology, Art and Healing, and more. All of my personal and professional experience has helped me create The Stress Less Pencil.
