Kearns, Jennifer

After exploring the world outside of Downeast Maine for over a decade, Jennifer Kearns, a native of Cherryfield, returned home with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration/Visual Design, and the excitement to share her experiences in the art world with the area’s young artists. Her passions in art of all mediums, and her love of children, led to the creation of The Art Shack in 2008, a creative space for children ages 3-18. Collaborations with local artists enabled The Art Shack to offer pottery wheel and hand building classes in addition to printmaking, jewelry design and fine art painting classes. Currently Jennifer is continuing to inspire children to create and explore art through private and group instruction, and as a visual and performing arts instructor at Narraguagus Jr/Sr High School.
