About Michelle
I was born and raised in New Jersey and am of Puerto Rican descent. As a proud mother, my family is my greatest inspiration. From my earliest memories, drawing has been my passion. Initially dreaming of becoming a feature-length film animator, my focus shifted over the years towards children's books, driven by my deep affection for young minds. In April 2009, I achieved a milestone by completing and publishing my own children's book, titled 'Giving Up The Bo-bo,' which I both wrote and illustrated. Despite balancing a full-time job outside of my creative endeavors, I continue to freelance and help aspiring authors bring their children's book dreams to life through my artwork. I am deeply grateful to my beloved family, friends, and past clients whose unwavering support has been instrumental in launching my career.

As a tutor, my approach revolves around nurturing creativity and fostering a deep appreciation for fantasy and children's art. Here's how I share my knowledge:
Teaching Method and Techniques:
I believe in a hands-on approach that balances structured learning with creative exploration. Each session is designed to inspire and empower students to develop their unique artistic voice. I emphasize foundational techniques such as sketching, shading, character design, and composition, tailored specifically to fantasy and children's art.
Typical Lesson Plan:
Introduction to Theme: Discussing the essence of fantasy and children's art.
Demonstration: Step-by-step guidance on techniques and styles.
Hands-On Practice: Engaging exercises to apply newly learned skills.
Feedback and Discussion: Individualized feedback and group critique to refine artwork.
Inspiration and Exploration: Encouraging creativity through discussions on artists and trends in the genre.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor:
My passion stems from a lifelong love for fantasy and children's art, which translates into genuine enthusiasm and dedication to each student's growth. I create a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to experiment and push their artistic boundaries.
Who the Lessons Are For:
These lessons are ideal for aspiring artists of all levels, from beginners to advanced learners, who are passionate about fantasy and children's art. Whether pursuing a career or simply exploring a personal interest, students will benefit from a structured yet flexible curriculum that adapts to individual learning styles and goals.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
I have known Michelle for 30+years and art has always been her passion. Before entering high school the level of art she created was impressive (what she can do with pencil,chalk, paint etc) is amazing. Michelle is patient and ensures that while learning you are also having fun. My children when younger had the opportunity to experiment some art activities with her and still talk about it today. She shared the same passion with her daughters who are also exceptional talented artists pursuing in their mother’s footstep. Aside from being a passionate talented artist, Michelle is a beautiful human with strong morals/values and compassion. I highly recommend Michelle as a trusted resource in your art journey.
