Professional Profile
I’m a natural born artist, with a BA in Arts Teaching and outstanding experience in artwork creations. I have more than 10 years experience in plastic arts work, through which I’ve improved my skills and techniques in the fields of drawing, painting, modeling, sculpture, relief, wall drags and many more related to arts teaching for people of all ages.
I have worked as Project Leader for the building of special art works like giant carnival floats and celebration structures (with themes and shapes according to the celebration and the culture expressions), stained glass windows, collage art walls and huge room decorations for private events.
As an Art Teacher I have worked with kids and young people from different social classes and with special disabilities like deafness and mental retardation. All these experiences have allowed me to develop excellent communications skills, leadership and teamwork abilities oriented to the development of artwork within tight deadlines and budgets.
