Cornell Art Museum Sip & Sketch

Join us for another Sip & Sketch inside the Cornell Art Museum during First Friday Art Walk on Friday, November 3rd. The event begins with a short presentation by Artist Jen Fisher on her approach to on-site sketching and perspective drawing. Participants are then invited to explore the museum and record their experiences in their own sketchbook. Jen will be available to assist participants and will suggest drawing prompts and exercises for the evening. Please also bring your own portable art supplies and sketchbooks. Dry art media only. Light refreshments will be served ~ you may bring dry snacks. JEN FISHER is a mixed media artist with an interior design background. During her years as a designer in New York City, she created state of the art interior spaces for various commercial design projects while working for architectural firms. Transitioning to the academic world, she became an Academic and Career Advisor at the New York School of Interior Design. Jen’s desire to create small works took her artistic career down a new path: jewelry design and teaching art. She created her own architecturally inspired jewelry line and began painting while teaching and experimenting with new materials. Jen currently enjoys urban sketching, participating in art exhibitions and teaching perspective drawing and city sketching. Her 2020 pandemic drawings from her recently published book, Dear Diary, A Pictorial Essay of Life During the COVID-19 Pandemic, have become part of the archives at the William & Mary Libraries Special Collections Research Center of personal experiences and documentaries of the Coronavirus pandemic. Jen currently lives in Boca Raton, Florida.
