About Me

Hi, I’m Jessica—an artist and mom living in Southeast Portland. I create nature-inspired watercolor paintings and love sharing the creative process with kids.

Classes take place in my cozy backyard studio, where we explore art through play, curiosity, and connection. Each session is designed to spark imagination and build confidence—while having fun and getting a little messy!

The Studio

Our art classes take place in a converted garage studio tucked behind my home in a large yard with a garden.

Inside the studio, kids have access to a wide variety of art and craft supplies—paints, papers, recycled materials, natural objects, and more—ready for both guided projects and free play. It’s a space designed to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and let imaginations run wild.
