Hello! Salut! Hola! Moi! I am Luiza and I am your art educator who designs learning experiences rooted in self-discovery, emotional safety, and creative exploration. My teaching is informed by social-emotional learning (SEL), and art-based practices that engage simultaneously the mind, body, and heart.

I believe that learning happens most deeply when it is personal, hands-on, and emotionally meaningful. I use photography, eco-arts and nature-based activities as tools to help learners—both children and adults—connect with themselves, others, and the world around them.

In my approach, practice comes first, followed by reflection and theory. I create spaces where curiosity, joy, and emotional expression are valued over performance or grades. I see myself not as the “giver” of knowledge, but as a facilitator and guide walking alongside learners in their individual journeys.

My goal is to nurture calm, creativity, and confidence through artistic processes—especially for those who may not thrive in traditional educational settings.
