A Teaching Philosophy Rooted in Growth
Student-Centered Learning: Luna believes that every student brings their own perspective to art. She encourages students to follow their interests, providing personalized guidance and adapting lessons to individual needs and pace.
Embrace the Process: Creativity isn’t about instant results; it’s about exploration, experimentation, and growth. Luna inspires her students to enjoy the process of creating—preparing, making mistakes, and learning from them—knowing that mastery comes with time and dedication.
Hands-On Learning: Luna’s classes are highly interactive, with a focus on practical, hands-on projects. Students work with a variety of materials and techniques, constantly exploring new ways to express their ideas.
Mentorship and Collaboration: Beyond teaching, Luna serves as a mentor, encouraging a collaborative spirit in her classes. She fosters a learning community where students support and inspire each other, offering constructive feedback and sharing ideas.
Sustainability and Community: Luna is deeply committed to eco-friendly art practices. In her atelier, students are encouraged to recycle materials, reduce waste, and incorporate sustainability into their creative processes. Luna also engages her students in community art projects, helping them connect their work with the world around them.

With over eight years of experience teaching at prestigious institutions and collaborating with brands like Chanel and Microsoft, Luna brings a global perspective to her work. She has taught at universities, art centers, and online platforms such as Skillshare and Udemy, where her classes attract thousands of students from around the world.
Her atelier in Almere has become a vibrant hub of creativity, where students of all ages and backgrounds come together to learn, explore, and grow as artists.
