Caitlin Aleskovsky
Amore Art Owner/Founder / Lead Teacher

Ms. Aleskovsky studied visual arts at UB Kinsey/Palmview Elementary School of the Arts, BAK Middle School of the Arts, and Dreyfoos School of the Arts. In addition to teaching and managing Amore Art, she is pursuing a college degree in Human Services Therapy.

She is a mother of three children, Sean & Kristin in High School and Alexa in Elementary.

She has a passion for both helping people as well as creating art. The one complaint she has heard continuously during her children’s elementary school years was/is, we need more art! Yes, most schools have a wonderful art program as part of the curriculum, but this equates to usually 30 minutes a week.

Hello! I’m Olivia and I’m incredibly excited to be a part of this amazingly talented art team. I have 5 years of education experience in a variety of roles such as a technology specialist and working aside children on the autism spectrum. My passion has always been for art, and in every role I’ve ever had, I allow students to express their creativity in every way possible! I am a self taught artist and my favorite mediums are digital media, mixed media, and painting with acrylics. Growing up, my dream was to help children express themselves through different creative outlets and I’m incredibly happy I get to do that!

Dene
Amore Art Teacher

I was born and raised in South Florida and throughout my life, I have always spent my free time crafting and learning new things. My crafting goes from wire jewelry, to costume design, to painting, to CRAFTS. My knowledge is always expanding as I ask more questions. I learn visually and physically so I can respect how other children may learn in their own ways. From a young age, I have worked children parties, festivals and theaters doing face painting and theatrical makeup. I volunteer through my church to have cookies and crafts at children hospitals as well as home renovations. If you want a memory to cherish forever, ask your children to tell you a story at bedtime. Children are a gift and art is the gift, that keeps on giving. I look forward to learning from my students as much as they learn from me.
