About
Lorelei lives in Central Texas and began her career as an artist at the age of 14 when she completed her first commissioned pet portrait. Feeling inspired, she established her own small business and, with some assistance from her mom, garnered significant interest, further fueling her passion for art. This led to substantial improvement over the course of a few months, and she is now thriving in her art career.
