Creative Growth For All

Jen Lipsey Edwards, Fine Artist and Art Educator

I am an artist, author, illustrator and a veteran art educator with 20+ years of teaching experience. I have enjoyed teaching students of all experience levels and ages ... from the art classroom, to the college studio, to private lessons and group workshops. As a published author of the popular children's book series "My Very Favorite Art Book" I have had the honor of encouraging creative growth in hearts and minds nation wide.  Both a Masters Degree in Fine Art and extensive practical knowledge in a broad array of fine art mediums and techniques has allowed me to dedicate my life to encouraging creative growth for all.

I cannot recommend Jen more! I can honestly say that I trust her advice more than about any other artist. Jen has an unusually unique ability to see what an artist is trying to achieve and kindly communicate wise advice on how to help make it happen. She sees, she listens, she asks questions, and has great judgment. I’m telling you—her advice is so valuable!

 

Molly
Professional Artist

Jen is so good at inviting people into the creative process. I was amazed how I was drawn into the experience and genuinely enjoyed the experience. I lost track of time and was able to let go of a need for perfectionism. At the same time, I was really happy with what I created. Jen gave just enough guidance to feel confident and let my own creative expression emerge.

      I always appreciated Jen’s deep connection with her students. It was beautiful to experience how getting to know them led to better creative endeavors. They felt comfortable showing Jen who they were and what they wanted to communicate through their work. Jen taught, encouraged, challenged and celebrated every single one of them.
