Meet the Owner
Alma Loya
Alma Loya, a proud Albuquerque native, has always been inspired by the vibrant culture and art that thrive in her community. Her journey in the world of art took a unique path as she channeled her creativity into hairstyling, transforming her passion into a career that allowed her to bring joy and confidence to others through their appearance.
Becoming a mother provided a new vantage point for Alma. Her children, inheriting her passion for art, sparked a new mission in her life: to enrich the lives of the children in Albuquerque with opportunities that blend fun and education in the world of art. It was this drive that led her to Kidcreate Studio, a place where she saw her dream reflected in its mission to provide quality art education in a kid-friendly environment. For Alma, joining Kidcreate Studio was not just a career move; it was a step towards fulfilling a personal and community goal. She is excited to bring her vision to life, offering opportunities where children can express themselves creatively, explore different art forms, and most importantly, have fun. Through Kidcreate Studio, Alma aims to contribute to her beloved Albuquerque by nurturing the next generation of artists and creatives.

How our story
began
Founder, Lara Olson, started Kidcreate Studio after being discouraged by the limited art exposure her son was receiving at school. In art class, he found tremendous joy in the creative process and none of the frustrations he was experiencing in some of his other classes.
Lara understood this. She too gravitated toward art as a child. Lara believed in the power of art to teach, inspire and build self-esteem. She also understood that art makes learning fun and a fun learning environment was exactly what her son needed. Lara started a quest for art classes for her son. She searched in vain for art classes designed just for kids that combined quality art education with a fun kid-friendly environment. Finding nothing that met her requirements, she decided to create it!
Kidcreate Studio was born!
