Hello, I’m Eddie!
I grew up drawing and painting and was lucky to learn from many great teachers. Today, I work as a software engineer and balance my time between New Jersey and New York City. I started florum to share the joy of learning and making art. My goal is for you to feel comfortable experimenting, growing, and finding inspiration in the process.
Hi, I'm Jenny!
I’m an artist and designer based in NY! Growing up, I trained at the same studio as Eddie and later taught K-12 students. I learned from amazing professors in different creative fields who taught me what it means to be generative and express ideas, even as a complete beginner. That's how I think about art—and it's what I hope to share in all of my classes.
