About the Event
Osceola Arts is proud to present Tohopekaliga High School Graphic Design students in our Art in Public Places Program at St. Cloud Library. This selection of student art was organized by Jenny Mohess, teacher and founder of the graphic design course. Mohess hails from Trinidad and Tobago and has lived in Osceola County for over 24 years. She stepped onto Valencia College’s campus in 2000 as an international student and earned her Associate of Science in Graphics from Valencia College, a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of South Florida, and a master’s degree in art education from Boston University. She is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in educational leadership. These experiences led to a career at Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp and allowed her to own a design studio. Jenny has also taught at Valencia College for over 15 years and has found a genuine purpose for mentoring future graphic/web designers through the Valencia Graphics Program.
In 2018, she worked on a project to take the graphics program into the Osceola School District and build the program at Tohopekaliga High School — a new STEAM high school with a focus on arts and career and technical education. The program is now the top program in the district (TKHS GRAPHIC DESIGN AGENCY) and won an Adobe World Champion Design Competition in 2022 after four short years of being active. In 2024 Jenny was named Educator of the Year by Global Certiport – A Pearson Vue Business.
Works by the students are on display at the St. Cloud Library from January 8 through February 26. For more information contact diana@osceolaarts.org.
