I’m Daniela Torres-Mattus, an artist, educator, and singer based in Santa Monica. As Director of Education at Beautify Earth, I bring artists, sponsors, and schools together to create murals that not only inspire students, but also ignite whole communities through art. I’m passionate about turning everyday spaces into vibrant, creative hubs where students can truly take pride. I also wrote The Hard Rules & Superpowers, both books empower kids and parents to own their feelings and discover their strength in their emotions. You’ll often find me performing locally, sharing my love for art, music, and community connection, and interviewing artists and educators about the healing power of art in schools.
