Meet Mrs. Green
Hi, I’m Jessica Green and I’ve been teaching art for about ten years now. I’m a fourth generation teacher and have always loved instructing and inspiring people in all things art!
In 2011, after teaching art in public schools for seven years, I was laid off from my job due to budget cuts. (Unfortunately, art programs across the state are being cut and reduced dramatically.) As difficult as it was to leave my position, the situation opened for me to start my own private art teaching business… Art Venture LLC! This was an exciting new opportunity for me, blending my two ‘dream jobs’: Art Teacher and Mommy! I get to enjoy spending more time with my two children at home while continuing to use my gifts as an art teacher. It really has been the 'best of both worlds!'
I am thrilled to be providing these opportunities for children and young adults to share my passion for art...and to assist and encourage each and every student to learn and grow in their skills.
In March of 2013, I started my painting blog, 'Jessica's Journey to 500 Paintings'. And my mission is exactly that...500 paintings! It will take a couple years, and the goal is to grow in both my ability and love for painting. Follow my journey by visiting my blog!
