Everyone knows Miss. Ramirez as a Spanish teacher here at Noll. But what some people don’t know is that she is a really great artist. She’s always been a creative and artistic person, but she started working with acrylic paintings in 2004.
“I like to paint whatever inspires my imagination the most,” said Ramirez.
She displayed her work for the very first time here at Noll for the ‘Night of Latin Culture’ which took place on October 15.
Ramirez says, “I’d like to say that I am grateful to Mrs. Lorenza Jara-Pastrick for strongly influencing me to put myself out there. She is a great supporter!”
Although Ramirez has created many pieces, her all time favorite artwork piece is of her father’s guitar. The guitar piece is called “Canta y no llores” which translates into “Sing and Don’t Cry”. This piece has a very special place in her heart.
“It commemorates his memory and all of the lullabies and ballads he used to sing to me when I was a little girl,” she said. She also loves the pieces she does for her friends. “Their energy and spirits inspire me to paint something special, just for them.”
Ramirez also sells her artwork. They tend to sell between the prices of $30 and $80.
“It all depends on the size of the canvas and how many hours it took to complete the piece,” she said.
Ramirez isn’t too sure where she will display her artwork next but she’s open to putting herself out there. She sees herself writing  and illustrating children’s books in the future.
“I hope that this new artistic adventure leads me to what I really want to do for the rest of my life.”
