Meet Your Art Teacher

My name is Lórien Eck, and I am a passionate art educator and lifelong learner who loves helping students discover the joy of creative expression.

I believe art is a place where students can explore their imagination, build confidence, express themselves, and experience the joy of creating. My goal is to foster a welcoming and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued, encouraged, and inspired.

I hold a B.A. in Studio Art, an M.Ed. (Emphasis in Visual Arts Education, Curriculum & Instruction, and Educational Practice), and a California TK–12 Single Subject Teaching Credential in Art with English Learner authorization (CLAAD).

My teaching experience spans public schools throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties, where I have been recognized as an award-winning educator and highly qualified teacher. My professional experience includes National Board Certification and a variety of educational leadership roles.

I have also taught in international settings, including Ghana, India, Guatemala, Thailand, and China, and contributed to educational television by writing, producing, and hosting a segment series for Homework Hotline, a PBS program on KLCS.

In addition to teaching, I maintain an active studio practice as a mixed-media artist at Waterfront Studios.

I believe every student is naturally creative and curious. Through meaningful experiences in the arts, students develop imagination, confidence, critical thinking, and lifelong creative skills.

I can't wait to meet your student and enjoy a wonderful year of creating together! 🎨
