Hi I'm Jess! I've been drawing and painting since childhood. I have a college level education and I've been working as a freelance illustrator for over twenty years. I specialize in portraiture and character design. Let's make some art!

I pride myself in complete customer satisfaction! Understanding the customers needs helps me educate them with the skills they want to learn. I've been teaching the arts at the collegiate level for 8 years. In those 8 years I have assisted may students learn the essential skills to succeed in photography as a hobby or career. I like to meet new people and share my knowledge as a professional photographer.

Hello! My name is Jahni I’m 25 years of age I’m a painter, student, and art teacher. I’ve been painting professionally for 5 years and been painting since I’ve been able to pick up a brush. I’m always excited to teach kids how to make art using variety of different mediums from painting,sculpting,making collages, or digital art and many more. I show kids how they can make art out of almost anything and how art has no limits! I focus on how we can better understand and navigate emotions through art and show how art can be fun with tech and without. Creativity is at the heart of everything we do! Best, Jahni Hope
