Jennifer Rowe is an artist who is passionate about sharing her love of drawing and painting with others.  She teaches art classes and private lessons in person and online and has instructed over 1,000 online students since she began teaching virtually in 2019. Digital tools are central to the method she created to provide a highly effective way of communicating fine art drawing techniques.  In her art classes, Jennifer strives to pass on what she’s learned from both her own art making and from studying with internationally known artists, Anita Wolff and Margo Schulzke. 

Jennifer is a distinguished pastellist with the Pastel Society of the West Coast.  Her award-winning art has been in local, national, and international group shows at various venues including the National Arts Club in NY and the Butler Institute of American Art in Ohio. Her pastel portrait "Out of the Blue" was included in the book Strokes of Genius 8: Expressive Textures.  

Jennifer’s lifelong interest in art is the “A” in her ongoing STEAM interests.  She holds a B.S. in Engineering-Physics, worked in the aerospace industry, and taught math at a public high school.  She now satisfies her curiosity in STEAM topics by reading, researching, and, of course, by making and teaching lots of art!  

Jennifer has been homeschooling for nine years.  Her daughter now attends public school and her son continues homeschooling high school. In addition to enjoying art and reading, Jennifer likes spending time in nature and taking day trips to the ocean with her husband and children.
