Fantasy Was Less Relaxing Than I’d Hoped

Lorena Torres Loaiza was born in Bogota, Colombia, and grew up in Canada. She works in comics, illustration, theatre design, and fiction. Right now she's posting her first graphic novel, De La Isla, on Webtoons, and is an exploration artist at the Theatre Centre in Toronto, developing a comics-based art installation about hope. She can be found @lszian on Instagram and Twitter. She loves South American fruits, like granadillas. Someday, she wants to eat ice cream beans again (that's a real fruit. It's named perfectly).
