Meet our Founder:
Allison May Jensen
I was an artsy kid who grew into an artist.
My hometown in Illinois had an art school, run by a local artist who taught art lessons in her basement. When I was eight, my parents signed me up for the first of many lessons with Mrs. Funk and that began my official journey to becoming an artist.
She taught me to use charcoal, colored pencils, oil pastels, chalk pastels, watercolors, acrylics and oils. I sometimes think I learned more from her than I did in my years in college classes.
Not every hometown is lucky enough to have a Funk's Art School.
Not every artsy kid is blessed to have a Mrs. Funk to encourage them.
So in 2014, I started Orange Easel--a local studio to serve the artsy kids of Kansas City.
And then in 2020, the entire Orange Easel team opened the Creation Nation--an online studio to serve artsy kids everywhere.
