September 15, 2025Jen is kind hearted, professional and truly passionate about teaching children (and grown ups) a love for art. She has led several Art parties for my daughters birthdays and each one was a hit!
The projects she offers are unique, engaging and every child gets a keepsake to take home at the end.
I can’t recommend her enough!

September 10, 2025Ms. Jen taught a mermaid art lesson at my daughter's 6th birthday party. The girls all loved her and she was highly entertaining. Very funny. Our daughter was so happy with the project and said she can't wait for another chance to make art with Ms. Jen. Highly recommend.

Ms. Jen keeps it simple with 3 steps:
1) Contact Jen and let her know what your child is interested in. Do they love cats? Are they obsessed with basketball?
2) Ms. Jen will take your child's interests and brainstorm a few options for a 1-hour project. Projects are always multi-media (ex: oil pastel AND paint AND sequins) and suited to the age of partygoers.
3) Pick your favorite project and relax!
On the big day, she'll show up with all supplies, set up, and teach the lesson. Everyone leaves with a finished masterpiece! It's super easy for parents, but the kids (and Ms. Jen) have an absolute blast!
Total time including setup, teaching, and cleanup is about 1.5-2 hours.
Jen Groenewald opened Ms. Jen's Art Den in 2025 to combine her two favorite things--teaching and art!
Jen earned a bachelor's degree from the University of North Texas in speech pathology and a master's degree in early childhood education from Pacific Lutheran University. She holds active certifications to teach at the elementary level in Washington and California.
She spent six years as a classroom teacher before deciding to shift her focus from academics to art. Her engaging teaching style, strong relationship building skills, and silly sense of humor make her a stellar art instructor. She loves sharing the joy of art with young people!
