I'm a visual artist, children's book illustrator, and scientific illustrator with over 10 years of experience in the education industry, specializing in illustration, traditional drawing, and other fine art techniques. I’ve worked with all ages, from early childhood to adults, teaching a range of subjects from crafts to fine art. I’ve worked as a teaching artist at multiple public schools throughout New York City, teaching studio art, sculpture, puppet making, art history, and scientific illustration. I currently work as a teaching artist at Harlem School of the Arts. I’ve also assisted with portfolio prep for students applying to art high schools and colleges and adults who want to develop foundational skills or explore new media.

I began taking advanced drawing classes at the age of 6 and continued to study drawing, painting, and sculpture in middle school and high school. I have an academic background in Multimedia Art, Scientific Illustration, and Fine Art. I received my MFA from Newcastle University in 2014. I have worked professionally as an in-house graphic designer, and currently work as a freelance children's book illustrator and greeting card designer alongside my studio practice and teaching career.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'd love to hear from you!

Outstanding Art Tutoring Experience!

Jennifer provided exceptional tutoring for my daughter as she prepared her high school art portfolio. Her constructive feedback and unwavering support throughout the process made a significant difference. Jennifer was always prompt in responding to questions between sessions, which was greatly appreciated. She offered fantastic suggestions for enhancing existing pieces and played a key role in developing and completing new artworks. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed every session and looked forward to each class. Thank you, Jennifer!

Wonderful artist and tutor!

I have really enjoyed my art lessons with Jennifer. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and talented, but she is also just a pleasure to talk with! I am interested in drawing gardens and landscapes, so in our lessons, we worked on drawing leaves, trees, flowers and other natural elements and textures. I left each lesson feeling inspired and confident in my new skills and excited to practice them. I would highly recommend Jennifer to any level of art student.

Amazing!

After my 10 year old daughter's first art lesson with Jennifer yesterday she has been in such a positive mood and has been drawing non-stop since yesterday! She is looking forward to her next lessons which we have now extended to an hour and a half! I am so pleased with our experience and so Thankful for Jennifer!

Fantastic teacher!

Jennifer is a fantastic teacher/tutor. In the beginning, I was only trying to pick up some drawing & painting skills that I'm out of practice. Jennifer opened up my thought of really considering being an artist and led me to set up a more explicit goal of my creation. She always shows me her process in class and gives me assignments to hone my drawing techniques. She always gives me feedback on my works, and I can see my progress each week. It is a great pleasure to work with Jennifer!

Terrific session

Very helpful indeed - explained clearly what we will do - lots of suggestions based on my work. A very good tutor for me! I have a clear direction now. Will focus on organizing photos, collage, layering, and posterizing.
