Jessica Vail Sorensen

I'm an experienced art teacher and artist who loves helping students succeed and develop their inner voice. I'm available in-person and online. In-person lessons could take place at my house in North Seattle or at your place. See the above gallery for a collection of student artwork. They blossomed through our work together.

Educated at University of California, Davis (BFA), University of Wisconsin, Madison (MFA) and Seattle University (MIT). I am certified to teach AP Art & Design through Bellevue AP Institute.

As a life-long artist, I express my vision through drawing, painting, collage, photography and film/video. I was a Seattle and San Francisco based graphic designer and illustrator for sixteen years. I worked for organizations such as University of Washington Alumni Association and The Focal Point, LLC, a litigation graphics company. Fun fact: As a yoga instructor, I developed Art & Yoga: Conjuring Creativity workshops.

I understand what it takes for art to support personal development. My art students go on to be joyful, confident and ambitious artists.
