I discovered my passion for art during my youth when the only areas of school I was attracted to were areas that involved some kind of art. With this in mind, I decided to continue and explore this passion. I got my Bachelor’s Degree in Design from the “Universidad Iberoamericana” in Mexico City and studied painting at “Isabel Lenero” school of Arts. I moved to Austin, Texas eight years ago and was able to take picture book workshop in order to illustrate professionally.
I worked for 4 years as a docent at the Blanton Museum of Arts, and currently working as a freelance artist and designer besides teaching art.
What students say about Ms. Luz Marie's class
ART+ Academy has brought me farther than I imagined in my drawing and I was just starting acrylic painting when the lockdown came. I missed my weekly classes with feedback and ideas on my project from my teacher, Luz Marie, and fellow classmates. However, ART + saved the day by quickly adapting in-person classes to online classes. Now I can still get my weekly instruction and stay motivated and inspired. Thank ART + for going to the extra mile
Our girls had a great time in Ms LuzMarie’s class. They created very cool art work they are proud of. Would recommend it!
The quick move by the Art Academy from in-person instruction to online classes was remarkably smooth and effective. At a time like this, we need the flexibility and creativity of organizations like the Art Academy. I am particularly please with the online help and guidance I have been receiving from Luz Marie, the instruction at the SouthWest Austin studio. It has been overall a very rewarding experience to work with Art Academy. I highly recommend this art school.
