About the Instructor:

Jennifer Hawkins is a native of Wallowa County. She grew up on a ranch; herding sheep, working cattle working in the wheat fields.  She studied Art Science and Education at the University of Oregon receiving a BS, MS and MFA. She enjoys teaching, especially the next generation, sharing her gifts and insights helping to inspire others.

Jennifer currently teaches Visual Arts at Joseph Charter School, Imnaha Bridge School, and Troy School.  Jennifer also enjoys roaming the wild places from which she draws her inspiration for creating art.

“I am inspired by the beauty of nature; its colors, textures and forms. I immerse myself in nature whenever possible, especially the ‘wild places’. The Wilderness makes my soul sing and renews my spirit.  My intent in my art is to transform the beauty I see/perceive with heart, mind and spirit into new creations, interpretations in the media that speaks.”
