Hi, my name is Maribel the creator of Aphrodite’s Naughty Quill. Born and raised in North County San Diego, I am a nature and art lover to the core. I will in the spur of the moment create things with clay, charcoal, oils, watercolors and other mixed media or explore gardens, art museums, and galleries in my spare time.
Years ago, I entered a few competitions such as the Museum of Living Artists in San Diego’s Balboa Park, the Oceanside-Carlsbad Art League and MOLA’s International Exhibition and received some awards and honorable mentions. It’s been quite some time since I’ve re-entered the art scene, but I am eager to give my soul the needed time to get back to creating and meet those who want to do the same. My journey in loving art started at a young age and has been a slow progression throughout my life. I’ve worked part time jobs in my 20’s teaching elementary and middle school students math, piano and art.
I’ve also worked with our at-risk youth in Orange County as a Youth Partner for Olive Crest. I believe my experience in working with an array of individuals and teaching artistic and life skills will translate well in my endeavor to partner with those who want to add beauty and create things with their hands. Regardless of skill level, I truly believe that we all have a creative little monster in us that wants to get something out. Let’s embrace exploring, learning, and making things. My other weaknesses include gardening, food and travel. In the meantime, let’s have some fun together creating art.
Our philosophy:
At Aphrodite’s Naughty Quill, we believe art should be as enchanting as it is fun. Our workshops combine classic techniques with a playful edge, encouraging you to explore beauty without boundaries. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned artist, you’ll find joy in every brushstroke and flourish.
Join a tribe of fellow artists who appreciate the romance of using ink and other mediums to explore. We celebrate every messy, magical moment on your journey to creating — empowering every artist to craft beauty that’s unapologetically their own. Let’s blend beauty with a little mischief.
