"I had a wonderful time at Jennie's watercolor class at the Eno. I had never taken a watercolor class before and she demonstrated how to use the paints and gave very helpful instructions to get us started. She was right there helping us along the way and balanced that with also giving us the freedom to create and explore. Jennie is so positive and encouraging, as well as being a skilled artist. Learning from her is a true joy! The setting and location was beautiful and inviting. I'll for sure be back for more classes with her and can't wait to keep learning and enjoying art with Jennie and TraillWorks!" - Monica 

    This series doesn't work for me.
    ​Please add me to your list for future opportunities.

​Jennie is a very talented artist and teacher. She encourages creativity and teaches her students how to use artistic techniques to achieve their goals. I take away something new from every class and it shows in my artwork! I ❤ Jennie!

Jennie Traill Schaeffer

Teaching Artist, Owner

Though I teach a lot of watercolor-centric classes, I'm trained as an oil painter and LOVE both mediums. I've  painted professionally since 2005, and have taught art to tweens, teens and adults since 2001. I hold two BFAs from Syracuse University - one in Painting and one in Art Ed. I love sharing the process of art-making! I'd love to help you grow through art.
