Carlos Tirado has been my daughter Natalie’s art teacher for over 16 years. Natalie started at age 4 with Carlos. At the time, she learned to draw in group classes after school. Natalie was a restless little girl who used to be very easily distracted.
Carlos has a very special gift, bringing out the best in each student… in my daughter’s case, he taught her how to capture her ideas and creativity on a piece of paper or on a canvas. She grew up in age and with that she evolved with a brush in her hand, thus time went on and her “art teacher” guided her through most of her life with much patience. Over time, Natalie became an artist, today she continues to create, she learned to draw with pencil, color and carbon pencils, and paint with watercolors, oil and acrylic paintin, she also sculpts in ceramic…. all this thanks to Carlos who was her mentor and guided her through all these years.
Natalie now lives in Boston where she studies but every time she returns to Miami, she resumes her classes and helps teach the little ones, she shares what one day Carlos taught her. Thank you Carlos for all the support we’ve received during the course of these years, for sharing your knowledge, for your dedication with Natalie and teaching her how to put her imagination and creativity on a canvas.
