About Jenny

I have been making art since I was a toddler. Throughout grade school, I entered and won many contests, stood out from my peers, and had pieces on exhibit at a local museum my freshman year of High School. I excelled in graphic design classes, and was free to use the materials in the art department as I wanted, as I was more advanced than the average student. I started participating in sidewalk chalk shows at 13, and have continued most recently in Pastels on Fifth, a yearly event in Loveland. I have had several scholarships awarded by the Art Department where I went to college, and was employed at a Folk Art Studio/Studio Space while in school. I found Graphic Design jobs to be too similar to school, disliked deadlines and being controlled. I now enjoy art as a hobby, have almost every medium in existence, and often collaborate on pieces with other artists, design jewelry, use collage as an outlet for fears or dreams, and buy ceramic statues from Goodwill, for example, which I will repaint, add limbs/horns/tails with Sculpey, and turn into a totally new creation. I excel in makeup and hair artistry as well, after losing my hair due to chemotherapy, I taught myself how to cut, dye, and style hair, and consider a face a blank canvas to create a beautiful and flattering look. I am a frequent snail-mailer, and each letter is an opportunity for using calligraphy and different fonts, as well as a vessel for pieces created for the recipient. I rarely sell art, preferring to give it as housewarming gifts, or for special occasions. I admire many illustrators, including Edward Gorey, M.C. Escher, Eric Carle, Maurice Sendak, Ralph Steadman, Mo Willems, and comic book artists like Noah Van Sciver and Sam Kieth. This is related to over a decade of bookselling. I admire the work of Modern period artists like Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Dali, Monet, and Van Gogh. I have taught swim lessons and CPR/First Aid trainings for the YMCA, and worked with children of every age. I have been a Director for a YMCA Summer Camp, as well as a music and art teacher at other camps. I am a gracefully aging elder emo, and I also volunteer at a Food Bank and am in a rock/pop choir called Voices Rock. My family is my 2 cats, Beeker and Honeydew (I'm a huge Jim Henson fan). Born and raised in Florida, but a resident of Colorado for over 12 years, and Denver is home.

I create lesson plans after an initial assessment of skills. I create a personalized curriculum, and produce handouts for students and their parents. This would include a weekly or monthly schedule, and which skills we will work on each day. I can work with any age, and any skill level. I like to give homework that is practical and centered to the specific student (i.e. in the city, would use buildings for teaching horizon lines, perspective, and shading, or use a picture of a pet to teach pointillism/ crosshatching). Colorado has such beautiful landscapes, flowers, and parks, which are great for watercolor or acrylic paintings. I teach which materials are used, and how to make use of different mediums and tools. I also like to get to know student's interests and hobbies, as these can be objects of interest to draw/paint/create a collage. Depending upon the student's goals, will create a list of materials and resources for parents to help supply, to further mastering them. I am not a typical art teacher, I like to get messy, use bright colors, untraditional materials, and work to music.
