ABOUT

​

Hi! My name is Tess Reyes. Although, I’m more commonly known as “Ms. Tess”. For the past 28 years, I’ve specialized and focused on fine art education for children. I’ve developed a successful program that helps encourage children to enjoy and explore various arts and crafts. My lesson plans range from core-related, art basics to works inspired by art masters such as Picasso, Miro, Rosseau, O’Keefe, Monet, etc. I graduated with an art degree, a key stepping stone in the development of my program, “Art with Ms. Tess”. Many years of teaching K-5 students and presently, special needs children, has helped give me a better understanding of the mindset of a child--thus, helping me produce a curriculum that is approachable, relatable and enjoyable for children. The success is evident by their beautiful masterpieces!

Prior to teaching, I worked as an Advertising Director for, at the time, one of the best advertising agencies in San Francisco. As for my educational background, I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelors in Fine Arts and Advertising, and also have experience in culinary arts and home economics. I love cooking, baking, gardening, dancing and singing. Music, like art, has a special place in my heart. For 16 years, I was a lead singer and manager of a local country band (Silver Spur) and have also tried my hand at songwriting. I had the opportunity to record in Nashville--a lifetime dream of mine! I love art in all forms. My passion and expertise in art has shaped me into the person I am today...Ms. Tess.
