TESTIMONIALS

“After leaving today I asked my 2 girls & their friend what they thought. They all loved the experience, they said learning new techniques was the best, especially blending.  Both of my daughters came home to actually paint again using what Becky had just taught them. Both of them have now entered a painting in the Western Idaho Fair!”

“It was nice to see the kids applying science principles to their artwork.  Definitely more than just an art class.  My daughter learned new things and had a great time doing so.  Becky is beyond kind and the kids cannot wait to do another camp.”

Jenifer A.

"My daughter attended the Glow-in-the-Dark art camp this summer and loved it!  She was so excited to go each day. She spent a lot of time each afternoon talking about what she did. The crafts they were able to bring home at the end of the camp were wonderful and creative.  Becky is such a kind and amazing person. I am so thankful to have had this opportunity for my daughter to attend.  I cannot wait for my daughter’s next activity with her!

Meet Mrs. Jenks

For the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of teaching art in local elementary schools. But my love for art goes far beyond the classroom. I believe deeply in the magic of the creative process—the way experimenting with color, texture, and materials opens up imagination, builds confidence, and fosters meaningful connections.

Creative Cove is a dream of mine —a place where kids and families in our community can come together to explore, play, and create freely. I’m passionate about providing a space where creativity is celebrated, messes are welcome, and the focus is on the experience of making art, not just the finished product.

At home, I’m a mom to four amazing kids. With preteens and teens, our family knows firsthand how powerful it is for everyone to have a creative outlet, and I’m thrilled to be able to share that with others.

I can’t wait to welcome you into this creative space. Whether you're a young artist, a parent, or someone simply looking to tap into their creativity—we’re excited to meet you and make something amazing together!
