In this episode of the Why We Started podcast, Vanessa sits down with Jennifer — aka Sassy J — the vibrant, creative heart behind Artistic Ways by Sassy J.

After 23 years as a dental assistant, Jennifer discovered her love for art through paint pouring. What started as a personal outlet quickly turned into a business that brings people together through laughter, music, and paint parties full of color and confidence.

She shares how art helped her heal, how her son Ty became part of the party, and why her mobile paint events are nothing like your typical paint and sip.

From hosting over 300 parties to painting murals for local businesses, Jennifer’s story is one of creativity, connection, and finding joy through self-expression.

Tune in to hear:

• How Artistic Ways by Sassy J came to life

• The difference between a paint class and a paint party

• How she brings fun, music, and personality to every event

• What it takes to run a mobile creative business

• Her vision for future collaborations and creative growth
