About Studio Jennifer Harris

Jennifer Harris—Your Art Instructor and Studio Founder

My journey as an artist and teacher began decades ago in my mom’s art studio, a space always covered in paint and filled with creative energy. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong love for art, which has grown into a deep passion for sharing creativity with others. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching in schools, libraries, and community centers, helping children and adults discover their artistic voice. I also hold a BFA in Art Education from Concordia University.

Creating Studio Jennifer Harris felt like the natural next step. It allowed me to bring everything I love about teaching into one inviting, inclusive space. Here, I get to show others what’s possible with a bit of paint, whether that means creating something beautiful on canvas or experiencing the social and mental benefits that art can offer.

What Makes My Studio Different

At Studio Jennifer Harris, every student matters. Whether you’re eight or eighty, you’ll be met with patience, thoughtful instruction, and encouragement tailored to your pace and style. I believe that learning art should feel approachable, personal, and genuinely enjoyable.

Here’s what sets my studio apart:

• Certified teacher with decades of experience
• Lessons designed for all ages and skill levels, from young kids to lifelong learners
• Small class sizes that allow for meaningful one-on-one attention
• Proven teaching methods that make core techniques fun and accessible
• A warm, inclusive environment where every student feels supported and welcome

Over the years, I’ve also had the privilege of working with students who learn differently, including those with learning disabilities, physical limitations, and unique learning styles. I truly believe art is for everyone, and I’ve shaped this studio to make sure it always feels that way.

Art Classes Offered at Studio Jennifer Harris

I offer painting classes from September to June in 6 and 12-week sessions. Each program is thoughtfully structured to build on foundational skills while introducing new artistic concepts.

Here’s what I currently offer:

• Child and teen painting classes
• Adult painting classes
• Beginner art classes

In every class, I walk through the materials and explain each step so students understand the how and the why behind what they’re creating.

Art Is a Philosophy of Learning, Expressing, and Evolving

I believe technique and creativity go hand in hand. That’s why my classes are structured yet flexible. Students learn how to use colour, shape, value, and composition while also having the freedom to explore and take creative risks.

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress, enjoyment, and confidence.
