Say Hi
  • I’m also professional Makeup artist and did the First Lady’s makeup!
  • I love nature 🐝 but can’t do camping
  • I love up cycling and turning “trash” into art- I see the potential in many things!

Hi! I’m Nicole Rivera, and I am an enthusiastic Teaching Artist with a very strong background in education
role. I am a "creative enabler," and it's my sincere joy to support the arts. I’m happiest when I can move, create, bring joy, and foster a creative community.
My medium of choice is makeup and upcyclying. I know that may sound unconventional , but it was my makeup artistry experience coupled with my degree in special education that landed me at The Art Studio NY. With low enrollment and bones for a curriculum I embraced my responsibility and created one of the most successful art classes in New York City. My success there and subsequent move to Jersey City allowed me the pleasure of working with Hudson Montessori, serving over 200 children of all ages, and again expanding their program to include a school-wide Art Show, Arts in STEAM, a year-end celebration consisting of a theater performance, and leading the entire Art Department for the school. Additionally, I support their social media marketing efforts, growing their following by over 100 organic followers over the last year and significantly increasing engagement on their social platforms.
I see art much like a child does: as a chance to experience creativity. My motto has always been "process, not product." I love to plant the seeds of creativity by exploring materials and learning from artists of the past. Art builds self-esteem, gives children a voice, and lets them express themselves in safe and creative ways.
