Kathy Jenkins
Artist and Owner of the Little Colonial School Shop, Ltd.
Kathy Jenkins is a retired teacher of the Franklin Local School District and is currently pursuing her interest in art. She
is a member of the Zanesville Art Center, The Zanesville Artists’ Colony, Beaux Art, and The Zanesville Appalachian Arts
Project. Kathy’s interest in art and in research of present and historical places has combined into many artistic projects.
Kathy has a small studio and shop in her home at 4125 Old River Road, Philo, Ohio where she creates paintings, sells paintings,
prints of her paintings, frames, and art, school, and scrapbooking supplies. She has completed a painting in the 2007 Muskingum
Soil and Water Conservation District Art Competition “Painting Conservation on the Land” on the basis of a sketch she created in
the competition followed by selection to be the artist to represent Muskingum County. In the state wide project a painting has
been created by a selected artist from each county in Ohio. The paintings have been displayed during 2008 at many statewide
meetings and prominent places in Columbus, Ohio including the capital’s State House. Kathy has also completed a series of
paintings depicting schools in the Franklin Local School District, the historical Sturges Buckingham house in Duncan Falls,
Ohio, the Velvet Ice Cream Mill in Utica, Ohio, several farm houses and churches in Muskingum County, and a painting of the
Ohio Ceramic Center on Route #93, Crooksville, Ohio. Four historical potteries of the region have been included in this
painting. Kathy’s painting of Historical Potteries in Ohio received a ribbon and special recognition for best meeting the
theme of a show held at the Center in 2007. The painting has remained at the Center for permanent display. Artist’s prints of
this painting have been made available in Kathy’s home shop and also in the Ohio Ceramic Center’s gift shop.
Each month Kathy has participated in Zanesville’s First Friday Art Walks in the Z.A.A.P. Gallery at 625 Main Street where some
of her recent art work has been displayed. She has had some of her art, school, and scrapbooking supplies for sale in this
gallery. She has provided guided crafts and demonstrations in the downstairs Z.A.A.P. gallery during the art walks. She has
also helped organize oil painting classes in the gallery and has offered toll painting classes at her home business, The Little
Colonial School Shop Ltd.
Originals are not for sale. Prints are available upon request in various sizes for most work examples. Also, post cards of the
school paintings are for sale at $12.00 a set (five schools included of the Franklin Local School District). The medium for all
original work examples is acrylic on canvas.
