Come create with me!
Leave with paint on your hands, a spark in your step, and a few fresh laugh lines.

Whether you've painted for years or haven't picked up a brush since grade school, you'll loosen up, discover something fresh, and find new friends cheering you on along the way.

Hi, I'm Jen!​

​

I'm a painter, teacher, and wannabe songbird… still becoming as I go ;).

 

I believe creativity belongs to every one of us, and our marks matter, the ones we carry and the ones we leave.

​

The beautiful people I paint beside, in my studio or on the hillsides of Italy and France, always remind me where the magic happens: in the people and pieces we gather as we grow.

​

I'm a permission giver and a curiosity encourager, here to help you follow your inner Joy-PS 🧭 and discover what makes your soul sing.

​

A hope-filled life is ours to create.

Keep an open heart, be the first to say hello.

Find friends who make you smile and help you grow.

​​Creativity invites connection: to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater than all of us. That's why my classes and retreats often include a little music, a little dance, and maybe even a disasterpiece or two.

​

Come as you are. No experience necessary.

Off-key harmonies and offbeat HUEmor welcome!
