![]() Hello! My name is Gabriella Valdivia. I am currently studying to become a teacher, studying Education P-12 (AA). Art has always been a part of my life, it's a passion and a part of my personality. I enjoy creating, collaborating, and building pieces of art, allowing my imagination to run wild. My second passion is working with children. I love creating an atmosphere filled with positive energy where children feel inspired to learn and grow. My main objective is to spread my passion of art and share that with my students. In my opinion art is created with the creativity of the mind, passion from the heart and the technique of the artist.
“Fine art is that in which a hand, the head, and the heart of a man go together.” - John Ruskin . See our programs page for Gabby's class schedule. |
