Creative Growth For All

Jen Lipsey Edwards, Fine Artist and Art Educator

I am an artist, author, illustrator and a veteran art educator with 20+ years of teaching experience. I have enjoyed teaching students of all experience levels and ages ... from the art classroom, to the college studio, to private lessons and group workshops. As a published author of the popular children's book series "My Very Favorite Art Book" I have had the honor of encouraging creative growth in hearts and minds nation wide.  Both a Masters Degree in Fine Art and extensive practical knowledge in a broad array of fine art mediums and techniques has allowed me to dedicate my life to encouraging creative growth for all.

We had an amazing staff art retreat facilitated by Jen. I had actually attempted a similar art project myself one time with less than satisfying results. Jen made art completely accessible even to those of us who struggle a bit with the freedom of art. Her teaching style is warm and inviting…. she offers many methods/ways/ options of doing things and it is all infused with mindfulness and love. It became a beautiful meditative and healing process for all of us. If you are looking for guidance, or inspiration, or just looking for a fabulous art experience, I highly recommend Jen Lipsey Edwards!

Workshop Participant

I always appreciated Jen’s deep connection with her students. It was beautiful to experience how getting to know them led to better creative endeavors. They felt comfortable showing Jen who they were and what they wanted to communicate through their work. Jen taught, encouraged, challenged and celebrated every single one of them.

      I cannot recommend Jen more! I can honestly say that I trust her advice more than about any other artist. Jen has an unusually unique ability to see what an artist is trying to achieve and kindly communicate wise advice on how to help make it happen. She sees, she listens, she asks questions, and has great judgment. I’m telling you—her advice is so valuable!
