About me
Professional BackgroundMy name is J.D. Justice, I AM A SELF TAUGHT ARTIST FROM SOUTH CAROLINA BUT I HAVE CALLED PANAMA CITY HOME FOR ABOUT A DECADE.
I taught art classes full time at a Paint and SIp studio while i finished college and fell in love with teaching art. IN 2017 MY FRIEND AND I CO-FOUNDED PALMETTO PAINT PC, A NONPROFIT THAT USES PAINT CLASS fundraisers AS A WAY TO GIVE BACK TO BAY COUNTY. In 2018 I was offered a position at a local elementary school after interviewing with admin for what i thought was a fundraising meeting. I taught elementary art for 3 years with a focus on making creativity accessible to my students. In 2021 I LEFT THE CLASSROOM TO Pursue full time freelance work. I enjoyed that for 2 years and grew my portfolio substantially. Currently I teach middle and high school digital art full time. I am blessed to have over 60 Public art pieces worth of experience- with pieces around, and outside of, Bay County. |
Extra INfoPainting is pretty much a daily thing for me, but when I have time off I am usually somewhere IN downtown PAmana City attending events or riding my longboard.
Outside of Panama City, I like to go for day hikes and spend time traveling to state parks across the south with my dog Kota. If you see me around town painting, stop and say hi! |
