About
Ana Lozano, founder and director of Art Stories, is a Mexican-Canadian art historian with over twenty years of professional experience and a deep passion to share the stories that bring masterworks, architectural treasures and heritage places to life.
She has collaborated with diverse cultural organizations both in Mexico and Canada, including Mexico’s Ministry of Culture as a deputy director, the Franz Mayer Museum as a curator, Mayberry Fine Art in Toronto as an art consultant and the Centre d’histoire de Montrèal as a guest curator. She is a published author and lecturer.
Her trips, doing the Camino de Santiago, and the years she lived abroad are among her fondest memories. She loves reading, collecting illustrated children’s books, brushing up her French and German skills and, mainly, spending time with her husband and young son.
