Jennifer has been drawing and creating art for as long as she can remember. She decided to be an art teacher when she was in high school. She even had the opportunity to observe several different art teachers before graduating and going to college at Texas Tech.

When creating art, her favorite media are watercolor and acrylic painting, throwing and hand-building pottery, and photography.

Jessica Witt
Drawing, Painting, Sculpture @ GFCS | Master Teacher
Drawing, Painting, Sculpture @ GFCS | Master Teacher
Jessica was born in Fort Worth and spent her early years there with her identical twin sister and two younger brothers. From a young age, she and her sister would spend hours in the backyard making mud pies, which eventually evolved into a pretend donut factory and gingerbread house. They also transformed old pizza boxes into dollhouses, crafting furniture and rooms from various materials. Jessica began sewing and designing her own patterns at an early age, creating teddy bears and dolls.
Jessica first started formal art classes in middle school. Her teacher recognized her talent and encouraged her to apply for an advanced art program in high school. She continued her studies there, excelling in advanced and AP art, and in 1996, she was chosen as one of 12 artists to be featured on the AP Art National Poster.
As an undergrad, she pursued her passion for art at Texas Woman’s University, graduating magna cum laude. During her time there, she studied abroad in Italy, learning techniques in Etruscan and Roman pottery, glazing, Roman portrait plates, Etruscan underglaze painting, and portrait sculpture. She had the opportunity to study under internationally renowned artists.
Jessica was one of 10 students selected for TCU's Masters Art Program, where she graduated summa cum laude. Her focus was on porcelain and textile sculptures.
For Jessica, using visual art to share the heart of God and His story of redemption has always been paramount. Her passion is to spark creativity and a love for the arts in children that will last a lifetime. She believes there is endless inspiration in God’s creation—animals, plants, and our surroundings—offering unending beauty and stories to tell through art. Jessica would be honored to work with your children and share her joy of working in ceramics.
Mrs. Witt hold a Bachelor's of Fine Arts from Texas Woman’s University (2003), and a Master's of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Texas Christian University (2009).
