Hi there, I'm Gaby the Art Guide!
I’m so excited to share my love of art and creativity with your child! As a creative art tutor, I specialize in nurturing self-expression and imagination through engaging, hands-on activities. My classes are designed to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and develop artistic skills in a fun and supportive environment.
I have over 7 years of experience working with children in the classroom and a strong background in the arts. I completed my Associate’s Degree in Art Education at Broward College and have been an awarded and featured artist in numerous South Florida art galleries. I’m also a published writer, children’s book author, and have previously managed an advanced art studio for kids, where I designed sensory-rich and inclusive art lessons for learners of all ages and abilities. From splashing paint on the walls, to mosaics, to pottery, to fashion, we created it all!Reviews
