Buying a piece

There is no cart here, on purpose. Ask about a painting and Jenny answers herself — call or text 715.590.3445, or send a message. She will tell you what it looks like in person, what it weighs, and whether it suits the wall you have in mind.

Payment is by Venmo (Jenny-Licht-2), Zelle (715.590.3445 or [email protected]) or check. Local delivery and installation in Southwest Florida are free; shipping elsewhere is at cost.

If a piece you love has already sold, say so anyway — most can be reworked as a special order in your size and colours, at no extra fee.
