As the founder of R’berry Arts, I love bringing new creative ideas to life! From developing engaging art tutorials to designing fun projects and activities, my goal is to make art education exciting, approachable, and accessible to children everywhere. I believe every child has an artist inside them, and I love helping them discover it!

My name is Catherine Nieves, and I have been making art for as long as I can remember. My love of art began as a child watching my incredibly talented older brother create amazing drawings. Because of the endless motivation and empowerment from my art teachers throughout the years, I knew that someday I would want to inspire others to grow in their creativity, as well. With years of practice and art classes, I later went on to receive my bachelor’s degree in Illustration after being accepted into the St. John’s University program. During this time, I found my love for working with children and continuously inspiring them to become the artists they want to be. I hope to continue to help and inspire my students to grow to become confident, skilled, and well-rounded artists.
