            Art teacher/ Professional Artist

 

​                  "As a small justification of what I do know, I should relate a bit about my background. Was born and raised in a family with a tradition in art and pedagogy: my parents are both art professors as profession, and artists as vocation, my grandma was a primary school teacher, and my grand grandma was an kindergarden educator, so I was surrounded by love for art and kids; my greatest heritage from them is the sense and love for beauty.​

       
       My experience with kids starts in early highschool years, when I was leading workshops of painting, drawing and printing to kids from the Danube Delta villages, in summer camps specialized in birdwatching and ecology. Also helped my parents in art camps, being an art instructor for the younger students. In university, took often part in exhibitions and projects aiming to familiarize kids in textile printing.
      
     I just love seeing kids concentrated in their activity, and from my experience, 3+ is a great age to start expressing their art potential, and that with training they can develop amazing art skills, sensitivity, and love for beauty.
     And what I love most of all is that special joy and accomplishment they have on their faces when they  finish something with their own little hands! That make me believe in what I do!​

 

And  because a visual artist is more convincing with images and less bla-bla -bla, have a look at my personal website:
