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.
