Jenn demo'ing at a Loft Art Retreat | shurkus.com

Hello, I’m Jenn.

I’m a designer, creative instructor, and artist.

As a creative instructor, I love to show people new and clever ideas to use when designing their cards and projects. I have a flair for the “artsy-fartsy” without going over the top. I design my projects in a way that inspires but doesn’t intimidate me. I am always eager to share my creative passions with others, encourage their artistic growth here at shurkus.com, and in classes I offer.

As a designer, I enjoy creating on my Mac or getting paint under my nails while playing at my studio table. They both fulfill my desire to truly be creative every day. I have a love for typography and I’m a bit obsessive about letterforms. I bring a mix of uber techy and back-to-basics to my creative endeavors.

A forever 30 year-old creative chick. You will quickly learn that I love summer and flip-flops, hate winter and the cold. I have an unhealthy obsession with teal. I live 5 minutes from the ocean, and believe that the cure for anything is saltwater and sea breezes.

I have been an artist since I was little, creating wooden rainbows and selling them at my “shop” located in my driveway, or doodling posters for my bedroom wall. Papercrafting became a part of my life when I graduated from college, working at my first job as a Marketing, Designer and Special Projects Manager in a little gift shop. Located in the store was a small rubberstamping section and it was suggested to me that I should teach a beginner stamping class – and the rest is history!

I have been papercrafting for 15 years, and have played multiple roles in the papercraft industry as an independent store manager, designer, and teacher.

I grew up in New Hampshire and was there till after college when the ocean started calling my name. I have lived on Cape Cod for 15+ years, and I share my life with my handsome kitties, Mister Harley, Gus and Jac, oh yea, and my boyfriend Chris who is pretty much the best thing ever.
