About Me

Hello! I'm Jennifer Nichols, mom, wife, sister, daughter, artist and teacher! I have been teaching Procreate since 2019, guiding creatives of all levels with warmth, clarity, and a love for the learning process. I'm a trained teacher, not a trained artist. I don't use words like juxtaposition but I am a lifelong-learner and love teaching others what I have learned! As a retired Montessori teacher, I bring a patient, joyful approach to digital art, focusing on exploration and personal growth over perfection or profit. My goal has always been to help people learn to enjoy this amazing hobby as much as I do!

I also have a love for gnomes and they frequently show up in my work. Tap the gnome to see more!

So, if I'm Jennifer, who are Leila & Po?

They are our pups! Years ago I was dabbling with online art stuff and this “branding” sounded fun. Leila & Po Studio rolled off the tongue…and my kids loved it! At the time, I had no idea how important branding was and by the time I thought about changing the name, it was a little too late! So here we are! Leila is my baby, my shadow. Po is my little old man, the sweetest boy! (Po Update: We had to say goodbye to Po at age 15 in April 2025. We miss him terribly. The second photo of him was taken on the day we lost him.❤️)
