Jenny Siegfried

When Jenny’s not teaching visual art to her favorite small artists and students, her love of hiking and illustration keeps her on the trail and making art in the outdoors. She’s partnered with NYC-based outdoor organizations to organize art-making experiences on local trails, was the Artist in Residence for the National Park Service in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2018, and has lectured on the importance and value of creative experiences from city to trail at a variety of venues, including the REI “Force of Nature” Women’s Speaker series, for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, and at Harvard University. This summer, she’ll be heading to Pickens, South Carolina as the Artist in Residence for the Rensing Center.
