I've been teaching Art now for about 10 years in a private setting out of my Art With Jenny studio, and love sharing my love of art & painting with everyone. My favorite part about teaching art or painting is how even with the same lesson, everyone's projects turn out so completely different, tailored to themselves and their imaginations.

I fell in love with kids’ art long before I became an art teacher. Years ago, when my children were young and in preschool, they would bring home piles and piles of artwork for the first time. Although much of it was just colorful scribbles, I loved it! I poured over it! While many of my mommy friends looked at these piles as “clutter”, I spent hours figuring out how to save and preserve these early little pieces. I didn’t care much about saving math sheets or writing practice sheets. I just wanted to keep their artwork. Why? Because these special little pieces were created from their imaginations, hearts, and souls. As my kids got older, their art projects turned from cute little scribbles to different, more advanced projects, each with more detail and personality. The evolution of their art is so cool to me!
