Connect, create, and get inspired -- one cozy studio session at a time.

Hello my friends,

You know me -- I can’t not share what I’m making and learning.

For years, my little corner of the internet has been home to “How To Tuesday,” where I walk you through new techniques, fun projects, and creative ideas step-by-step. And now… it has a brand new home.

✨ Welcome to Next JEN Academy

It’s my new creative space where I share four brand new art lessons each month (depending on the tier you choose) -- from mixed media magic to playful patterns, colorful portraits to unexpected materials. Each one is designed to inspire you, spark ideas, and give you the tools to make them your own.

One of my absolute favorite parts of creating these lessons? Researching other artists. There’s nothing like scrolling through YouTube, Pinterest, and the art courses I’m lucky enough to be a part of -- as a viewer or guest artist -- soaking up all that inspiration, and turning it into new beauties to share with you. Every time I discover a new technique, a fresh perspective, or an amazing artist, I get so excited -- and I can’t wait to pass that excitement along to you.

Why the move? I wanted a platform that could host all the ways we communicate -- a place that’s more interactive, more connected, and puts everything I offer in one cozy, creative hub. No distractions, no algorithms -- just a space for inspiration, instruction, and connection.

If you’ve been looking for a little more art in your life -- a reason to sit down at your table, open your paints, and try something new each week -- this is it.

🎨 Come join me at Next JEN Academy and let’s make something together: Sign up here!

Happy ARTing,
xo, Jen

Looks exciting!!!

Is the intention that this will replace Patreon at some point?

Hellloooo, my friend!! You guessed it! As of late it's become obvious that it's time for me to move away from Patreon and invest in my future instead of theirs! hahaha... it's so good to hear from you, Debbie xo
