Hi there ~ Nice to meet you! I'm thrilled to be offering my online classes here on Skillshare. I'm Jenny K, also known by my pen name Living Pattern. As a watercolor artist & teacher residing in beautiful South Florida, I find endless inspiration in the tropical surroundings for my botanical paintings. My work celebrates the intricate patterns found in nature, translated into vibrant and colorful art.

After studying illustration with a minor in painting at the renowned Savannah College of Art and Design, I honed my skills as a textile designer for Carter's and a creative display designer for Urban Outfitters. These experiences sharpened my unique eye for pattern and design.

Today, I'm devoted full-time to my art practice and teaching. My paintings feature lush colors and rich textures that capture the essence of botanical beauty. Through my art and classes, I hope to inspire others to slow down and appreciate the intricate details of the natural world around us.
