Ambassador

Jenn Bolesta is a seasoned art teacher with 19 years of experience teaching middle school students in a Catholic setting. She welcomes students of all abilities and embraces each new challenge as an opportunity for growth. Fueled by creativity, Bolesta is excited to share her passion for art and inspire others along the way. She believes that art education extends far beyond mastering techniques or producing visually appealing works. Art is a powerful vehicle for teaching empathy, fostering emotional intelligence, and developing critical problem-solving skills that are essential for life. Problem-solving through art is another cornerstone of her philosophy. Bolesta encourages her students to approach challenges with an open mind, experimenting with different solutions and embracing the learning that comes from both success and failure. These skills empower them to tackle real-world problems with creativity and resilience. Ultimately, her goal is to inspire students to see art as a tool for personal growth, social impact, and lifelong learning. Through art, they can develop a stronger sense of self, a deeper understanding of others, and the confidence to navigate the complexities of life with grace and creativity. She holds a BA in Communications from Loyola University and Art Education Certification from the University of Dallas.
