About​

While teaching art history at The Art Institute of Tennessee – Nashville, she organized her students to participate in the first Nashville Chalk Festival and has been chalking ever since. She travels to festivals around the country and loves doing demonstrations in schools and with people of all ages.

When she isn’t covered in chalk, Jennifer puts her M.A. in art history to use as the Curator of Nashville Parthenon where she creates exhibits and activities that engage visitors.
