Due to a loss in the family and attending to estate matters, I will be taking time away from teaching live classes and lessons. Please sign up for my email list at the footer of this page to be sure to hear about when lessons will resume.
Thank you for your patience. You can still learn with me now by taking one of my online classes.

Find your Happy Place
Art is so much more than paint on a canvas.
It has the power to soothe, inspire, energize, and honor your soul.
​
It allows us to unplug and step away from our cares and worries.
​
The thing is, all artists want to sit down and create, but if you don't know where to start, you may not like the results. This can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and even quitting altogether.
My name is Jennifer Laurel Keller.
I'm an award-winning artist and instructor.
​
But once upon a time, I wasn't very good.
​
It took me years to develop my style - despite getting straight A's in art school! I had crippling artist block because of my own limiting beliefs.
​
It wasn't until I changed my attitude, let go, and put in the practice, that I began to recognize myself as a real artist. That's when I began having much more fun!
Anyone can be an artist.
I've seen newbies pick up a brush for the first time and crush it.
​
I've also seen long-time artists get stuck because they overthink it too much.
​
With the right steps and support, you can do this!
I work with artists from all experience levels.
​
What does your soul desire?
I love acrylic and mixed media because it's so forgiving.
If you don't like something, you just cover it up.
It also cleans up better than many other mediums, with no harsh solvents or fumes.

How it works:
We will talk on the phone about your goals.
We'll decide when to meet in the classroom at UArt, my local art supply store in Midtown, Sacramento, CA.
At this time, you will send me a deposit and a photo of your covid-19 vaccination card.
On the day of your lesson, we'll either work on studies or a finished piece, based on your experience and goals.
Once your lesson is done, we'll clean up, discuss your progress, and make arrangements to meet again, if you desire.
