I am an art lover. Sharing and teaching an artistic culture to children is my passion. I enjoy being able to face new challenges and engage with my students to continuously help them achieve their artistic goals. I enjoy exchanging thoughts, feelings and ideas, assisting in developing their imagination, and the capacity for reflection and communication and through creativity transforming it into a work of art.
