Jennifer Turpin is an art teacher who aims to encourage artists of all ages to explore, experiment, play and use the creative process freely, with no judgement or self criticism. A graduate from Lesley University, Jennifer studied expressive arts therapies and incorporates additional modalities into mixed media creations of her own, this may include music, movement or storytelling. By integrating other modalities into visual art, the experience deepens and becomes more about the process of creating than about the final product.
