My name is Lorena Cuello Olivares. I am a Journalist. I am married, and I have two children, ages eighteen and sixteen.
I stepped into the handicrafts world in 1998 after a terrible accident which enabled me to walk for a while. My emotional healing process begun when I started sewing and embroidering a rug, stitch by stitch, just like a mantra.
Then, while I was expecting my first son, and due to pregnancy complictions I had to take some time off again. That was the time when I embroidered the rims of my son´s towels. Twenty three years have gone by. I just sew to heal.
