Temecula, California

Lyzz Kirk

I have always had a love of art in all forms, and I have been active my whole life in theater and music, earning my Associate Degree in Acting Performance. I believe that art education is vital for fostering creativity, cognitive development, emotional well-being, and social skills in children. It helps build a foundation for lifelong learning and personal growth. I’ve seen it myself and in my children and I am so excited to bring this amazing opportunity to the Temecula Valley.
