Hi there!
A short intro to your instructor…
I’m Jenna, and I’m a full-time artist based in Syracuse, NY. I believe that with the right tools in place, anyone can create beautiful, meaningful art. While I learned plenty of valuable skills and gained insights throughout my years in art school, my current style and art practice are self-taught and self-driven. I want to share my simple, step-by-step approach to acrylic painting with you!
When I’m not painting, you’ll find me spending time with my spouse and 2 young kids, planning my next home design project, running while listening to a favorite podcast, sometimes reading a historical fiction novel, and ALWAYS drinking coffee – light roast, black, and just how I like it. 🙂 I can’t wait to lead you along on the rewarding journey of learning to paint!

I look forward to supporting you in “Paint Joyfully”!
