New Year, New Styles

I had a bit of a slow year in terms of making, with so much else going on in my life. But what I did make felt more authentic than anything I’ve ever made before. I feel like I’m finally hitting a style that is truly all me, and I think that’s because I focusedContinue reading “New Year, New Styles”

Rebel! Rebel?

What does the word “rebel” mean to you? In my opinion, you can’t just put on the uniform of counter culture and claim the fruits of that labor. Despite my fondness for them, you can’t just “stick a skull and spikes on it” and turn “edgy”. Listening to loud music doesn’t make you “punk rock”.Continue reading “Rebel! Rebel?”

Finding My Voice in Metal

Does anyone else ask the question “who am I?” as much as an artist does? You kind of have to do it in the process of every work of art you create. Does this represent me? Am I being derivative? Do I want anyone else to look at this? What’s my message? What do IContinue reading “Finding My Voice in Metal”

From Clay to Metal

Those of you that have been following me on Instagram @jenvyfox, already know that in August, I began metalsmithing. I started with a couple of classes at the local bead shop, watched a couple you tube videos, and off I went. It has been amazing to see the progress I have made in such aContinue reading “From Clay to Metal”

Gemstones, Bodies, and Flaws

Lately, one of my inspirations has come directly from nature. I have been very interested in rocks. What I love about rocks, is that the more they are flawed, the more interesting they are. People tend to value flawless things, like diamonds with no visible inclusions. For me, after spending 8 years selling diamonds inContinue reading “Gemstones, Bodies, and Flaws”

Vegan Wrap Bracelets

I have been experiencing artist’s block for the past several months, and have had no inspiration for new paintings. For a while, that meant that I just spent more time in front of the television. Finally, in the last couple of months, I found something to put my little fingers to work, and started creatingContinue reading “Vegan Wrap Bracelets”

City From a Dream

I have recently been paying homage to my home city of Sacramento through abstract works representing “The Grid”, the Midtown/Downtown area of Sacramento, so named for it’s grid of numbered and lettered streets laid perpendicular to each other. Each painting from The Grid Collection captures something about Sacramento or something about my life since living onContinue reading “City From a Dream”

My Love Letter to the Grid

This painting, which is enormous by the way, is my love letter to my city. Much like my relationship with Sacramento, the process in making this painting was quite tumultuous. At the start, I had a large canvas, bigger than I usually use, and a tub full of nearly empty paint tubes. I wanted toContinue reading “My Love Letter to the Grid”
