About the artist

Hi! I'm Jen!

I'm a watercolor artist and illustrator based in Columbia, SC.

I create original paintings, art prints, and greeting cards– everything made right here in my home studio.

A huge mission statement (slight obsession?) of mine is to discover and spread the Small Joys in life.

For me, that's things like...

  • Visits to coffee shops
  • Fresh flowers in a vase
  • Soft sunlight through the window...

...And yes, my cats.

Why PAINT CATS?

In 2025, I started painting my own cats just to fill the time (thank you Tazo). I brought the paintings to markets, and slowly started getting more and more requests to paint different kinds of cats. Now I have a wall of cats! Haha

But cats are more than just companions to me.

They're a symbol of boundaries. Knowing yourself. Hiss first, ask questions later. Knock that cup off the counter. No regrets.

The Small Joys Club

In September of 2024, I started writing letters to my best friend. For 6 months, it was just me and her- writing letters about self care, reflections on life and the meaning we find within it.

Today over 44 people have joined the Small Joys Club to receive monthly Small Joys reminders and artwork. My goal is to reach 100 members next year!

Want to Take a Gander?

Mine and Joseph's favorite phrase is: "Wanna take a gander?"
We say this when we want to take a look around a cute store with absolutely no intention of buying anything at all... for sure.... definitely nothing will make it into the cart........

Oh wait, what's this? A cute trinket?

Might as well take it home...
