Lots of Fun!

A note from Jennifer about herself:
I am an adopted child; both of my parents are Native American but I was adopted to German/Polish parents. Fortunately my parents were committed to ensuring I knew and was connected to my heritage as I grew up, and I am excited to share this piece of it with you!
I have always loved art! So much that I earned an associates degree in Commercial Art. I simply love any kind of artistic expression: Photography, Drawing, Airbrush, Beading, and of course making Dreamcatchers!
Throughout my life I have always loved learning absolutely anything. Learning is the way of life!
I look forward to meeting you in this new class!
