About

Welcome! It is my deep belief that part of being human is expending, expressing and expanding creative energy. I love teaching art through this lens and have been teaching for over 12 years, both in an academy setting and through private, individual instruction. In my home studio, I use oils, cold wax, encaustic and many other media. I teach painting, drawing, color theory and mixed media techniques. I conduct sessions in my home studio in Columbia, TN, or will travel to you. I am an award winning artist, author, small business owner, and creative retreat leader. I have a BFA in studio painting and was trained classically in Verdacchio style. I love supporting the creative process in others, no matter what level. A good teacher invites curiosity and meets a student where they’re at and listens to where they want to go. Please visit flyforwardstudio.com to learn about upcoming groups beginning January 2025. It’s not too late to join us and get your creative juices flowing!

    In my lengthy search for a creative mentor and teacher, I have finally found this in Jennie Shut.
    In addition to having an advanced education from a prestigious university, Jennie meets students where they are with any skill level or experience. In addition to that, she has a rare ability to intuit the guidance her students need on their creative journey. She creates confidence in her students by providing an atmosphere of acceptance, encouragement, and gentle instruction. Jennie has the ability to aid her students on their creative journey in intellectual, emotional, spiritual and holistic ways.
    I am deeply happy to be moving forward in my creative journey in a positive way. I consider myself very lucky to have found Jennie Schut.

    Jennie is awesome!! I have been taking art classes from Jennie for 3 years. She is excellent at teaching a wide variety of techniques related to drawing and painting (acrylic/watercolor/oil), patient with students who need extra time, good with adults and children, and genuinely a kind person. I cannot imagine a better art instructor!!

    Jennie is a very calm and fun person to work with. She is patient and good at explaining new concepts. I would 100% recommend taking a class with her. I did an encaustics class with her and I was sad when it was over!

    Jennie is a skilled artist and teacher. She has a gentle and calming presence. She respects the artist’s vision yet provides feedback, teaching, and guidance that allows the artist to elevate their expression. I recommend Jennie 100% as an instructor/mentor.
