Elisabeth Yvonne Diaz
Visual Arts Teacher, Mark Twain Dual Language Academy | San Antonio, TX

"I am eager to support and showcase the work of my emerging young artists. The opportunity to mentor, collaborate and motivate my students' individual artist voices excites me, and I cannot wait to see how my students can express diversity through visual art."

Liz Diaz is a dedicated educator with a passion for Art and helping students achieve their full potential through the creative process. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Studio Art/Art Education from Southwest Texas State University. Diaz completed part of her student teaching in Auckland, New Zealand, at Howick College. This experience not only gave her a love for traveling but opened her eyes to different cultures and how education changes across the globe. It also provided a perspective on teaching diversity through art and how different cultures can influence individual art voices. What motivates Diaz is not only her passion for art but also the opportunity to expose her students to the world and worldly issues through art. She recognizes the anxiety and sense of perfection many students feel and strives to create a classroom where they can have fun learning about art, use it as a tool to explore their imagination, and build positive self-esteem through the creative process.
