Veronica Jannsen

Art has been a lifelong journey for Veronica Jannsen—one filled with curiosity, exploration, and a love of trying new things. After more than 30 years as a Registered Nurse, Veronica is now retired and has the opportunity to devote even more time to her creative passions.

With a background that includes Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nursing and Theology, Veronica brings a unique blend of experience, imagination, and perspective to her artwork and teaching.

Her artistic interests are wonderfully eclectic. Over the years, she has explored watercolor, drawing, collage, artist books, quilting, needlework, acrylic painting, and more. She also creates and teaches spirit dolls, collage, and gel printing. Currently, she is especially inspired by the spontaneous and expressive possibilities of fluid painting.

Veronica’s art education has included classes at the Museum of Fine Arts, local museum schools, and study with private tutors. Her work has been exhibited throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

As a teacher, Veronica loves sharing the joy of experimentation and discovery. Her classes are designed to encourage creativity, play, and personal expression—inviting students to explore the process without worrying about perfection.
