Meet Your Instructor

Heather Heredia

I have over 12 years of experience teaching art to students of all ages, blending technical skill, creativity, and joy in every class. With a Bachelor of Science in Art Education and gallery experience, I bring both professionalism and warmth to my role at Twin Basins Art Studio.

I believe that every child is an artist waiting to be nurtured. I create an environment where students feel safe to explore, take risks, and develop both skill and personal expression.
