Images Are Everything
TEDESCO SCHOOL OF ART​​
My name is Jake Tedesco, I am an artist, instructor, desiger and visual consultant based out of Redondo Beach, CA where I work throughout the South Bay. I obtained my Business Degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and after a number of years in financial industries, I decided to pursue my life long love of the arts. I have never looked back. I am involved in everything I can be and strive to produce the best work on every occasion. Below is a summary and contact information for where you can find me next.

Conceptual Artist
Aside from teaching directly, I also provide conceptual art projects for various art groups throughout the South Bay including Art to Grow On (San Pedro), Gateway to Art (Westchester), Art At Your Fingertips (Palos Verdes), Adventures in Art (Torrance), Young At Art (Manhattan Beach) and Hands On Art (Redondo Beach). Several of my projects have been taught to tens of thousands of children through these groups. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in learning more.
In Loving Memory
My abilities and the work I carry on are the continuation of a lifetime of work started by my mother, Julia Tedesco. She was a lifelong artist and spent 30 years of her life developing projects and instructing children throughout Southern California, aside from creating her own work. Much of her work is still visible today and it is my honor to be able to continue the tradition. I was the first student of the Tedesco School of Art, and now I am lucky enough to be the proprietor of the Tedesco School of Art, which would have never happened if it were not for my mother. We will always remember and miss you Mom.
