Jessica Gruber grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Her childhood, nature, and the people closest to her heart continue to inspire her artistry now as an oil, acrylic and watercolor painter with styles ranging from photo realism to expressionism. Her passion for art and its impact on young people has defined Jessica’s career as an elementary school teacher over the last 20 years. She frequently integrates artistry into her curriculum and now dreams of exploring new opportunities to help more children develop a creative voice and their own art space. Jessica holds bachelor’s of arts degrees in Fine art and Elementary Education from Lakeland University, and currently resides in Port Washington, Wisconsin.
