ABOUT

Hey there! I'm Jackie Pallesen, an artist passionate about education and community engagement. For nearly two decades, I have been dedicated to fostering creativity in others and nurturing artistic minds. While working in an arts NGO, I honed my passion for developing and delivering transformative art programs in schools, community centers, and local businesses that left a lasting impact on the community.

Art/Work CPH is not your average art class! We adore working across the spectrum of traditional media in a non-traditional format. From illustrating a bologna cake recipe for a fictional cookbook to sculpting a life-sized rendition a desk lamp out of cardboard to creating stickers out of your own photos. We've got you covered! All the while, students will experience and learn traditional methods of composition, color theory, illustration, storytelling, and more. Blending of the absurd with the graceful is a space where some of the most exciting art can be created!
