As an art teacher, Jenny spent many smudgy, splattery hours (thirty years worth, to be exact) interacting with children. Her own art is playful and mischievous which influenced the lessons that she concocted for her students. In turn, her students impacted Jenny’s own creative spirit. The curiosity and joy of a child is ever present in her art.
