ABOUT

Lorena Sandoval is a scenic designer and visual artist based in Calgary, AB, Canada. She received her BFA in Sculpture from Pontifical Catholic University of Peru in 2004.

Professionally, she has applied her background as a sculptor to develop a career as a scenic props builder, working on numerous projects for various companies in theatre, film, and the broader entertainment industry. 

As a scenic designer, Lorena has crafted a design process centered on creating integrated spaces within the storytelling. She loves exploring and proposing other types of readings that not faithfully imitate reality but rather rearranges and reinterprets it to expand perception through our senses. 

Currently, she is finalizing her MFA at The Pennsylvania State University (expected summer 2024). Production credits at Penn State Centre Stage include Tartuffe, directed by Sam Osheroff, and Emilia, directed by Jenny Lamb.
