Hi, Jenn! Wow…. I absolutely love all these paintings. “Fourth of July Nap” is super- I think the perspective is refreshing. I would like to commission one of your mini pet necklaces. My cat, Kiki, is getting on in years and I have been looking for something special to someday remember her by. A work done by you would be a treasure, indeed. (There’s no hurry…) love, Laurie

Dear Jenn

Louis the cat was the family member of the woman I sometimes sit next to at work from time to time. I complimented her taste on an accessory she was sporting at work and one thing led to another and VOILA she turned me on to your gifts (this website and your work)

You may be aware, which I was not until only recently, before there was photographic imagery, people were immortalized on gorgeous portraits designed to be worn from one’s neck.

The expression of love and care and skill that goes into the portraits you make are intense and brilliant. This is intoxicating eye candy as they say!

- Thanks Alex!
  Yes, those old portraits turn up once in a while on Antiques Roadshow (which I am a huge fan of!) and are really amazing! I really do enjoy working small, particularly when it’s a commissioned portrait or scene. There is something about the fact that it really means something to the client that gets to my heart and I think it shows in my work.
