How it started!
Hi! I’m Jenna, and creativity has always been a part of who I am. I was blessed to grow up in a creative family, which nurtured my artistic spirit. For over a decade, I had a rewarding career in cosmetics, and I still enjoy freelancing in makeup from time to time.
I met my husband when we were just 14, and we started dating in college. We’ve been happily married for over 17 years now. In 2014, I became a mama, which sparked a desire for a more flexible schedule. That’s when I began brainstorming new ideas and eventually launched Dippin' Fun, a paint-and-sip company! My canvas shifted from faces to traditional canvases, and I started officially teaching paint-and-sip events in 2020, finding joy in outdoor locations during social distancing.
It's been an incredible journey, allowing me to meet amazing people along the way. If you’ve checked out my social media or painted with me, you’ll see my inspiration is drawn from folklore, science fiction, and classic literature.
This brings me to my latest venture: Bookworms & Brushes. With this subscription box, I aim to explore slightly more complex projects that aren’t feasible in a typical paint-and-sip event, and it’s designed for all artistic levels—whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out. It’s also a way to connect with fellow enthusiasts who share my love for classic stories and art.
My vision for Bookworms & Brushes is to provide an escape through books and art while fostering a community of literary inspired individuals. I can’t wait to embark on this adventure with you!
