About

Our Mission

At Expresarte Kids, our mission is to inspire and nurture creativity in children by providing a joyful and supportive environment where they can freely express themselves through art. We believe that creativity is a powerful tool for building confidence, encouraging self-expression, and bringing joy to young minds. Through engaging projects and hands-on exploration, we strive to ignite a lifelong love for art, empowering kids to view the world through vibrant and imaginative perspectives.

Two Sisters:
One Love for Art

We are two sisters united by our love for art. Even though we are miles apart, we share a common mission: to spread the joy of art and creativity by designing art kits for children around the world. Our kits are thoughtfully crafted to inspire young minds, encourage self-expression, and make art accessible to everyone, no matter where they are. Through our shared passion, we aim to nurture creativity and bring families together through the magic of art.

Hi!, I am Maria

Hi, I’m Maria Padilla, the owner and teacher at Expresarte Kids. Art has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. At 18, I started teaching kids in my parents’ garage in Venezuela, and it was there that I discovered my love for working with children. Seeing the spark on their faces when they create something amazing fills me with joy!

Today, I’m a proud 3rd-grade teacher in a public school and the owner of a cozy, home-based art studio—a dream that came to life a little after the pandemic. Teaching art feels like my happy place—it’s when I’m truly in my element. For me, drawing and painting are like active meditation; they calm me, inspire me, and bring me so much happiness.

Through Expresarte Kids, I hope to share that magic with every child who walks through our doors. I want kids to see how creating art can be fun, calming, and empowering. Let’s make something beautiful together!

Hi! I am Daniela

I’m Daniela Padilla, a Childhood Education graduate with additional training in Yoga for Children and Infant Art Therapy. My love for teaching started in Venezuela when I was just 13, helping my sister with her painting classes in our parents’ garage. I’ve always known that early childhood education was my calling.

In 2007, I founded Kavac, a preschool in Venezuela, which I lovingly ran until 2018 when life brought me to Brazil. Now, I’m the proud owner and teacher at Hoje Vamos Pintar (Let’s Paint Today), where we dive into a colorful world of art, textures, music, and self-expression!

I am also one of the authors and part of the planning team responsible for developing the creative and educational art kits offered by Expresarte Lab.
