Hi! I’m Bea—artist, art educator, and lifelong color lover.
I create original designs inspired by nature, childhood, and a touch of whimsy with acrylics, watercolors—you name it!
I’m so happy you’re here—make yourself at home.
As an art educator with over a decade of experience, I am deeply passionate about exploring the artistic process and its inherent healing power.
My own artistic practice prioritizes spontaneity and inner connection, steering away from perfect technique and hyperrealism.
Through my YouTube channel, I guide individuals from all backgrounds in enhancing their artistic skills and knowledge while nurturing their emotional and spiritual well-being.
Let's embark on a journey together—to embrace the beauty of creativity and make our voices shine!
Artistic History
My journey as a self-taught artist began 12 years ago in Miami, Florida. I developed my style and process in North Carolina, where I collaborated with local art centers and galleries, showcasing my work in solo and group exhibitions.
My creative process centers on inner exploration, drawing connections from my Italian roots, my childhood memories, and my experiences as a globetrotter.
Past clients and collaborators from my early career include the Carrboro Art Center, Sertoma Art Gallery, Green Hill Art Center, and The Pleiades Gallery.
Four years ago, I moved to Utah, where my work has been regularly featured at the Midway Art Gallery. Recently, I've been focusing on colors and textures, which I explore through a wide range of techniques.

Art, Craft, and Education
My journey began as a private school art teacher and art camp coordinator in Miami, Florida. Once I moved to North Carolina, I taught art to middle schoolers while working as a rotating artist-in-residence at the local Carrboro Arts Center. I won two prestigious residencies in Raleigh, NC (Sertoma Art Gallery) and Greensboro, NC (GreenHill) for my project "Suspended." I later participated in two juried art shows (Truth to Power 2018 & 2019) by Pleiades Art in Durham, NC, as well as several collective local exhibits. I spent most of the covid-19 pandemic in New York City. That’s when I decided to showcase my fine crafts and artwork online. My work has traveled across the United States and Europe—thanks to you! Now I’m in Utah, my family’s new home, where I regularly organize and participate in local fine arts markets. I’m also a member of the Midway Art Association and displayed original pieces at the Midway Art Gallery for three years in a row.

Art Councils & Advocacy
As an artist and art educator, I value the role of the arts in my community. I'm an advocate for high-quality art education for all, and I volunteer as a Visual Art Expert at the Saratoga Springs Arts Council. I also collaborate with the city of Bluffdale (UT), where my school is located, to organize exhibits, contests, and events that bridge arts and communities, as well as opportunities for my students to creatively contribute to their environment.

Gourses & Credentials
I hold a B.A. and an M.A. in Sociology from La Sapienza (Italy). I'm currently completing aan M.A. equivalent in Visual Art Education. I've also obtained a certificate in Healing with the Arts from the University of Florida, an Art Therapy Coach certification from Udemy, and two certificates in Modern and Contemporary Art from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. Besides local organizations, I'm also an active member of the National Art Education Association (NAEA), the Utah Art Education Association (UAEA), and BTS Arts.
