Where are you beckoned?
Hi! My name is Jennifer.
I'm an award-winning artist, acrylic painting instructor, and plein air enthusiast.
I'm based in Sonoma and Marin County, California where we have a bounty of beauty!
- Coastal Vistas
- Redwoods and Rivers
- Vineyard Views
- Rolling Oak Hills
In my acrylic painting retreats, I teach
en plein air
The art of painting on-site, outdoors, in nature.
Choose Your Own Adventure
Northern California is a wonderland of inspiring locations. Let's plan a painting adventure together!
I'm known for my friendly and relaxed, step-by-step teaching style that gets results. During the sessions we laugh, tell stories, and become good friends. I see students light up with beaming smiles and sparkling eyes as they experience plein air painting. By the end, everyone wishes they could stay an extra day.
