Artful Travels was created from a lifelong passion for travel, a love of the arts, and a deep respect for the teaching artist. Since 2003, Jeanne has led small-group cultural tours across the U.S. and abroad, thoughtfully curating experiences that blend art, culture, and authentic connection. Each journey reflects Jeanne’s commitment to meaningful travel — pairing inspiring destinations with award-winning artists and expert guides, and creating space for creativity, community, and discovery along the way.

For nearly 30 years, Jeanne served as Courses Curator for the Museum School at the Springfield Museums, overseeing the development and implementation of studio art, art history, and science programs for both adults and children. In 2003, Jeanne also began coordinating the museum’s travel program alongside the Museum School classes — a role that brought the privilege of working closely with exceptional artists and educators while planning and escorting both international and local journeys. These decades of experience continue to shape every Artful Travels itinerary, combining educational depth, creative inspiration, and carefully crafted travel experiences.
