Meet Jacqueline.
She's 15, mostly self-taught, and has been drawing since before she could read. She's been at One River for 3.5 years.
She also has something to say about why people who think they "can't draw" are wrong about themselves.
"Whenever I see people attempting to draw, even a stick figure, they get embarrassed. They're already comparing themselves to someone else. Recognizing there are ways to improve at something as small as a doodle already makes someone an artist."
One River pushed her toward projects she wouldn't have chosen on her own.
She kept pushing.
She surprised herself.
"Art has always been about expressing the human experience. Sometimes that means a single scribble on paper."

"Just sit in your studio and make stuff."
That's Daniel Heidkamp. One of the most compelling voices in contemporary American painting and the artist inspiring 1,800 teen artists across One River Schools right now.
Not 1,800 copies of his work. 1,800 original interpretations of a place that matters to them. Painted, drawn, animated, designed. Every one of them made by a teenager who showed up and did the work... who sat in their local studio and made stuff.
That's the whole thing, really. You sit down. You make something. You do it again. You grow.
This summer, eight of those artists will win a private studio experience with Daniel in Brooklyn. The rest will be part of something that's never existed before: the largest teen art exhibition in the United States.
Exhibitions are open now across 15 One River Studios: from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to Long Island, Texas, Indiana, and Oregon.

Meet Lisa.
She auditioned for an advanced art class in high school and got in. Then life happened, and she didn't pick up a brush again for decades.
In 2018, she walked into One River. She hasn't stopped creating since.
"I knew I always wanted to get back into art. When I read the description, this looked like the right place to be."
Since then she's been moving through collage, painting, beading, sewing; each project building on the last, each Tuesday night ending on a high.
Then one Tuesday, her husband died suddenly.
"I thought — where is the place I can go where I feel safe? I told my instructor what happened. We cried. Then I went back in the room and made some art."
That's One River.
