“I just finished up my six week Paint Your Peace sessions.  I can’t thank Jennifer enough for bringing this new option into my “peacemaking” toolkit that I didn’t even know I needed and now am sure I can’t live without.

Jennifer’s gentle guidance put me at immediate ease to feel comfortable with expression and finding my own journey to create art and at the same time find my peace.

I would recommend Jennifer’s painting sessions to all because everyone can benefit from this experience.  Give yourself permission to create and sign up for Paint Your Peace.”

 “I recently had the wonderful opportunity to work with the incredibly talented Jenn Jarvis, and I must say it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations.  The remote painting sessions were an absolute highlight for me.  Despite being virtual, Jenn managed to create an immersive and engaging atmosphere that made me feel like I was right there in a studio.  Her guidance during these sessions not only honed my art skills but also allowed me to tap into a newfound joy of self-expression through art.

One of the most remarkable outcomes of our sessions was the boost in my confidence and the significant reduction in my apprehension about my artistic abilities. Jen’s teaching approach is truly a breath of fresh air.  Her relaxed and fun demeanor instantly put me at ease, fostering an environment where creativity could flourish without any fear of judgement.  What stood out the most was how skillfully she explained the purpose behind each exercise.  It wasn’t just about painting; it was about understanding the emotions and thoughts that our artwork could convey, making the process even more enriching.

In conclusion, I can wholeheartedly say that working with Jenn Jarvis was a transformative journey for me. From the remote painting sessions that transported me into an artistic haven to the newfound confidence and ease with which I approached my artistic endeavors, every aspect was beautifully orchestrated by Jenn’s expertise.  Her friendly and insightful teaching style, combined with her ability to infuse purpose into each exercise, left me not only with a collection of wonderful artwork but also with a deeper connection to my own creative spirit.”

“At first, I was skeptical to whether I would enjoy this side of an artistic experience or if I would find painting on paper or canvas in general enjoyable. What an eye-opening experience, promoting a free and peaceful time of painting while easing my mind of everyday life and stress.

Jennifer encourages self-direction while also providing skilled guidance and an understanding that art and painting has no restrictions. I’ve noticed how brain function and creativity come into play and makes painting enjoyable.  Jennifer’s guidance while painting is fun, and she uses her words to help everyone on any painting or artistic level to better understand and articulate paint to paper or canvas.

“Jennifer brings a level of peace to what I would call “art for an hour.”  My stress level becomes nonexistent, and I feel like everything in that time frame just stands still because the only focus I have is on what I am painting.  It is a seemingly natural and amazingly enjoyable way to relieve my stress, anxiety and to free myself from my mind. The painting you create is yours and no mistakes can be made in that hour working with Jennifer, and she will remind you of that often, which is comforting and allows you to feel free to create.”

– Bradly B.

“Jennifer gives wonderful guidance and tips on how to mix paints to create the colors you desire, how to hold your brushes and to become comfortable with your brush strokes and what style of brushes to use to promote and create what you want to see on your canvas.

Painting with Jennifer allowed me to be myself and paint what my body and soul were feeling on any day, during the sessions I got lost within the art and nothing else mattered while I was creating.  It brought joy and peace to my heart.”

– Alison C.

”Jennifer has a passion and a dedication for her work.  She introduces you to acrylic painting and guides you along the way to become more comfortable and confident as you reconnect with your artistic self, even if you think you don’t have one.  She will help you find it.”

– Mathew C.

“I like it because it is not an art class.  There is no pressure or comparison.  It goes at your own pace and offers you an opportunity to create and learn new skills.  Because I have such a racing mind, painting with Jennifer has helped to slow my mind down.  When negative thoughts are coming, I just pick up the brush and before I know it my mind has slowed down and I am focused on my work, on the brush and on the paint.”

– Brian R.

“Working with Jennifer introduced me not only to a new form of creative expression, but a new way of relating to myself.  As a professional writer and longtime journaler, I thought I already had all the tools I needed for self-discovery.  So it was astounding to notice the way &how I painted reflected subterranean patterns in my emotional life, relationships, and even my career.

Jennifer helped me overcome an assumption that I had no artistic talent: It’s about expression, and there is no doing it wrong.

That lesson, and the expanded self-awareness and sense of liberation I gained through my sessions with Jennifer, continue to reverberate in fruitful and wondrous ways in my life.  Plus, I now have a whole new set of tools at my fingertips to help me explore my emotions and document my journey through this miracle of life and love.”

– Hilary N.

“Jen is a guiding light.  Her passion and dedication to helping people through painting is incredible. I never knew this creative side of me existed until she helped me discover it.  She is truly an inspiration.”
