Jed Dorsey’s story is one of vision, commitment, and follow through. Long before Acrylic University became the thriving business it is today, Jed had a dream in his heart of making a living from his art by sharing what he knew with other artists. I had the privilege of being there near the beginning of that journey, when the idea was still taking shape, and it has been remarkable to watch him turn that vision into something real, generous, and deeply impactful.

In this interview, Jed shares from the perspective of someone who has not only built a successful art career, but has also created a powerful teaching platform that serves artists in a meaningful way. His path includes family legacy, years of painting, a leap into full time art, and the courage to build something bigger than himself. For artists who feel called to teach, share their knowledge, or create a business around their creative gifts, Jed’s story is a beautiful example of what can happen when a dream is taken seriously and built with intention.
