Hi, I'm Jane Pichette 👋

I'm an art teacher and the founder of Next Chapter Art Studio in Manville. I believe every kid is an artist — they just need good materials, a little guidance, and room to make a glorious mess.

Every camp project is designed so that a 6-year-old and a 12-year-old can both succeed at their own level — and every camper leaves with work they're genuinely proud of.
