By Erica Leal

Erica Leal, Artist/Art Educator K-12

My artistic experience spreads across many media. Recently, I have used acrylic paint to design shoes and lead groups of painters at my paint parties. I have experience creating and editing instructional videos based on lesson plans I create for my students. I also teach art full time in an elementary school, where I teach many art media as well. Including but not limited to; digital art, ceramics, oil pastels, watercolor, collage, printmaking, painting, drawing and fiber art.
