Join Tamara for an interview with Armando Nieto, an artist/illustrator born in Caracas, Venezuela. He has an Associate's degree in Illustration, and then came to Savannah to complete his B.F.A in Illustration with a concentration in Concept Design for Animation and Games from SCAD. He became proficient in working in Procreate, as well as in traditional painting media. 

He worked as a freelance Illustrator right out of graduation, and since 2023 he has been teaching art classes for both kids and adults at Scribble Art Studio in Starland: https://www.scribbleartstudiosav.com/. More recently he also teaches art online (you can request a specific lesson/project too!) - https://www.superprof.com/master-the-art-watercolor-and-acrylic-personalized-step-step-lessons-where-you-improve-your-skills-with-expert.html  

Armando also takes on commissioned painting projects (landscapes, portraits, and pet portraits) and recently completed a mural with fellow artist Nico Moscosa, at the soon-to-reopen Troupial Cafe.
