About the Artist Facilitator:

Hola, I am a mother of 4 holding down the fort in my home. Never in my life did I imagine being a stay home parent, especially with how driven I am. Currently, my status has changed and it has been hard to adjust. My children need me and therefore, I put a hold on my career. I have become my children’s driver to their therapies and sports. At times, I find myself lost and the only thing that brings me at ease is my passion for arts and crafts.
I love to paint with acrylic, decopauge & pastels. When my kids go to sleep, I find myself painting on our cultural atuendos or on Talavera pots. It helps me aligned and center myself for the next day. Not only do I enjoy painting (alone) I also enjoy doing crafts with my kid. Our favorite is making ojo de dioses with popsicle sticks and yarn. My 8yr old loves to make them and give them out; it helps with her anxiety. Art is an important highlight in our home and I am excited to bring it into your home.
