Jeannie Guthrie, Zig Zag’s owner, is an artist and art teacher specializing in Process Art in which students are encouraged to problem-solve and hone critical thinking skills rather than focus on the finished product. She is passionate about the benefits of building creative confidence at a young age.

In 2013, Miss Jeannie’s back porch turned into an outdoor art studio for toddlers and pre-schoolers. In 2016, she opened Guthrie Studio to host after-school art classes, camps and craft nights. Three years later, Guthrie Studio became ZIG ZAG!

Miss Jeannie holds a BFA from Sewanee, The University of the South, and a Masters in Education Administration from the University of Alabama. She taught in public elementary schools in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Little Rock for 12 years. She loves the outdoors and food. Her two daughters, Clare and Alice, love making messes and art projects as much as she does.
