Jenny and Leslie are super passionate about helping others learn the techniques, tips, and tricks of watercolor to make it accessible to anyone wanting to paint.

As a beginner you will be guided through the basic techniques of watercolor painting and by the end of the workshop you can look forward to creating something to be proud of and leaving with the confidence to keep going. The therapeutic beauty of watercolor with its endless range of colors, bleeds, and brush strokes across the paper will wake up your senses. There is just no other medium quite like it. We can’t wait for you to join us at one of our workshops or retreats to see what you create!

  • Hello, I'm Jenny!

    I work in a beautiful She Shed in Cape Cod. I am constantly inspired by the nature around me. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, and 4 chickens, not to mention a wonderful husband who built my She Shed.

    My first love artistically is textile design, my other first love is WATERCOLOR because it is magical and unpredictable!  I am an illustrator, surface pattern designer, product designer, and teacher.

    I have a 20 + year track record creating and producing top-selling products for the infant, children, and home furnishings industry as well as gift, tabletop, bath, and decor categories. Clients include Target, Babies “R” Us, Hallmark, Leanin’ Tree, Gina B, Hasbro, Certified International, and more. I have an extensive archive of designs, all hand painted, digitized by me, turn-key, and ready for production. I pride myself on my relationship with my licensees and clients and have worked with several my entire career. Today I am represented by Courtney Davis Inc. Art Licensing

    Fun facts about me: I love animals and animal prints, I am a compulsive surface designer, and I live only on islands- NYC, Shelter Island, Rhode Island, and Cape Cod Islands. My superpower is teaching and empowering others creatively. It brings me joy to help people discover their inner talent and unleash their creativity! It makes me happy when I see people enjoying my work.

  • Hey there, I'm Leslie

    I’m a watercolor artist, designer and Illustrator based in quaint Tipp City Ohio. I am also a mom of Kara and Adam, wife to Joe and dog momma to Kona!

    I grew up with a pencil or paint brush in my hand. My mother is an artist so creating has always been a part of our lives and who I am. My life has been centered around art and I gather inspiration from everything around me in order to create my paintings. My love for nature, animals and people have led me to what I love to paint the most…basically anything that grows!

    Over the past 20+ years I have created top performing art and products for my clients. I am proud to have built the creative business of my dreams where I’ve been able to work with well-known brands such as TJX Companies, Babies-R-Us, Walmart, Disney, Summer Infant, Frontgate, Dibzy and more.

    Today I am a licensed artist with Wild Apple Graphics, Fine Art Publisher and Licensor, creating art for wall decor and licensed products. I love to experiment and see how I can push the limits to see what combination of tools and images I can use together to get a different outcome. I rely on my fine art foundation and drawing skills as a base, then make it contemporary and current using techniques and technology. I will never stop creating, learning and growing as an artist!

“As a beginner to the painting world, I felt comfortable and for my daughter, a bit more experienced, she felt challenged in a good way. From the paint kids, food, and communal environment, it was a lovely way for my daughter and I to enjoy a creative day together.”

Cathy F.

“I enjoyed myself so much…learned a lot…laughed a lot. Jenny and Leslie were so knowledgeable, fun and inspirational.”

Laddie C.

“I really enjoyed the class. It helped me get comfortable with watercolors after 50 years of painting solely with oils, mostly still life. Great workshop and fun group of people.”
