About

Jennifer DeFoe is an artist, illustrator & art educator who lives in Pittsburgh, PA. She loves making of all kinds and you will find her drawing, painting, baking, and getting crafty in her free time.

She received my Master of Fine arts Degree from the University of Delaware, after which she worked as a graphic designer, textile designer and letterpress printer before she began her career as an elementary art teacher.

“As a teacher, I believe strongly that art education is as fundamental as instruction in math or language arts: it develops creativity, critical thinking, effective communication and collaboration, and increases empathy and cultural awareness. In addition to this, art education is essential in its ability to give students a lens through which they can make sense of our over-mediated information age.”
