Take the QuizHi, I'm Jennifer.
I've been painting for more than 25 years and teaching artists since 2012 — but my background didn't begin in art school. Before building my life around painting, I worked in engineering, technology, project management and design.
That combination has shaped the way I teach. I love breaking complicated things into understandable steps, finding practical solutions, and helping artists understand why something works — not just telling them what to do.
My goal isn't to teach you to paint like me. It's to help you develop the knowledge, process and confidence to Create Paintings You Love.
