I think teaching art to young people is the best job in the world. I grew up in Montana, attended school in Idaho, lived and learned in Japan for 6 years, and eventually laid down roots in Fort Collins where I am surrounded by family and the great ranges of mountains which bring me so much joy and inspiration. Please check out Art with Aeravi to see what kind of art Lopez artists have been making.
I have a BFA in Studio Art, a BS in Art Education, and a music minor. I have been teaching since 2007, including 6 years in Japan.
I have done multiple live painting events and have been fortunate enough to show my work in several exhibitions. Please check out Aeravi Artist to see some of my creations.
Please check out Inspiration to get a sense of why Colorado is one of my favorite places! I enjoy hiking, skiing, camping, gardening, cooking, hanging out with family, and making art.
I strive to create a space for students to unwind, explore, express themselves and find joy and fun by successfully entering an active "flow" state in pursuit of excellence in art.
