A Change in Plans....
I’m so sorry to say that I have made the incredibly difficult decision to step back from the York Winter Art Fair this weekend. With the Covid 19 numbers going up locally as they are - I’m just going to be too nervous to be a successful vendor this weekend. I love meeting and talking with you all and I’ll be too wrapped up in my head to do that well.
I know the team over at York and StudioStudio will do an amazing job of keeping everyone safe, I just need to sit this one out for my own mental health.
I hope you all are doing well and staying safe

Holiday Updates
Happy December everyone!
Just thought I’d pop in with a few holiday updates:
SHIPPING:
Due to a HUGE influx of packages FedEx and USPS are both recommending all non-rush orders are shipped by December 11th. If you’re looking to pay the regular shipping fee, then definitely make sure you have your art in your cart before then.
SHOWS:
November 30th-December 30th: I’ve got two pieces in a group show at David Jones Gallery out in Kansas City, MO. I unfortunately won’t be in attendance (limiting travel) but I’m sure it will be a great event.
December 4th-December 6th: I am so excited to be participating in York Ann Arbor/StudioStudio Winter Art Fair. It will be outside, masked and distanced and I have great faith in the team over there to provide a safe environment for the attendee and the artists. I’ll have prints (and originals weather permitting) If you’re local this is a great chance to pick up an original without having to worry about shipping! Send me a message if there’s a specific piece you are interested in and I’ll make sure to put it in the lineup of work to bring.
In other news the new site launch is *ahem* a bit delayed. But it’s coming. Soon. Slowly. To pick up new work that’s not on my site check out Jenner McGinn Studios and RedDot Culture. (and follow them on social media so you don’t miss out on sales!)
9 new paintings at RedDot Culture! Tomorrow!
9 new paintings are launching on RedDot Culture tomorrow! (Friday, November 13th).
The Moirai series (10 x 10 acrylic on canvas framed in Maple), Emergence 1 and 2 (acrylic on paper 18 x 24) and Layer Studies 1,2,3 and 4 (9 x 12 acrylic on paper).
Here are a few sneak peeks - to be notified when the gallery launches the collection head over here and sign up!
This collection was a exploration of new marks, of fully dried layers. Instead of using the contour drawings as the basis of a painting and made in graphite, these works explore the contour drawing as paint, fully dried and layered on top of the piece. The paper pieces will ship rolled, perfect for framing. The Moirai series is framed in beautiful white floating frames and will ship in padded boxes.
Head over to Red Dot Culture to purchase tomorrow!
Coming Soon; Studio Clear Out Sale!
I started planning this sale back in April when it was beginning to be apparent that a move to California was on the horizon. I envisioned it as a last hurrah in my studio, pulling out old, new and never released work to be sold before packing our lives into moving boxes and starting our cross-country drive.
As much fun as all that chaos sounds, I am grateful for a few more months to slowly organize and pack, and the chance to still hold the sale - but on a much less rigid schedule.
I’ve been slowly categorizing, photographing and organizing work for the past few weeks, and should be able to announce the start of the sale sometime in July.
As with all sales, the email subscribers get the first look and chance to purchase - so make sure you’re signed up for the emails and keep your eyes peeled for more info coming soon!

Moving to California! (+addendum on 6/18/20)
Well I have a little bit of an announcement — looks like we’re moving to California!
My husband has taken a new job in the Palo Alto area (and I’m so excited for him!) so we’ll be packing up and heading out there when his office gives him the all clear.
What that means for my work:
All local work in shops and galleries will stay here, as my lovely studio assistant will handle inquiries and purchases.
My shop (and a few pieces available in various galleries) will be on a shipping hiatus for a few weeks as we move. Our plan is to take a little road trip across the country with Chewy - so it will be easily 2 weeks before I’m set up in a studio and able to ship again. When I know exactly when that will be I’ll make an announcement so you can order before we leave town.
New things! New colors! I’m so excited to learn a new space and see what happens on the canvas.
In light of all this, I’ll be hosting a Studio Clean Out Sale / live open studio soon. I’m not super excited to pack up all my work and put it on a moving truck to CA, and I’ve got a fair amount of other pieces I haven’t even released yet - so I’ll put everything together and do a virtual clean out of sorts. Once everything is up on my site for purchase I’ll announce a live walkthrough of my space, you can ask about seeing work up close or mediums used, inspiration… think of it as an open studio - from afar.
Once I have dates for everything I’ll make sure to get the word out.
I’m looking forward to new patterns, new horizons, being by the ocean again and putting these into paint - though Ann Arbor will always have my heart.
Here’s to adventure!
June 18th 2020 Addendum!!!!!!
Well, less panic about moving is always a good thing, I guess.
Looks like we’re not going anywhere anytime soon. We knew there would be a delay in when he would be required to go to the new office given the COVID 19 situation - but we weren’t imagining this long of a delay. Turns out no one is going back in until January, so we’re hanging tight.
I’m glad this is the case, less panic to move, less worry for my husbands safety/exposure in an office, more time to prep for the studio sale!
And yes, the studio sale is still happening, more details to come soon!
