Small commissions

Specialty

Painted outlet covers and one-off special orders — small commissions with a quick turnaround.

Hand-painted silk scarves are $89 each, painted with dyes on silk — the same technique Jenny teaches in her silk classes. Ask what is made up at the moment, or have one painted in your colours.

Outlet and switch covers are painted to vanish into the tile or stone around them — the sort of detail nobody notices until they see the alternative. Specialty paint is used for endurance and beauty, and any design or colour is possible: everything is freehanded on site, with the colours mixed to match your backsplash in the room it lives in. Outlet covers start at $45 for a single outlet; doubles, triples and switch plates cost more.

Nothing says I love my home and I take care of the little things more than having your outlet covers painted to match your backsplash.

A painting of somewhere you have been

Whether a memento from a holiday or a remembrance — a home, or a boat — a commissioned artwork is an ideal way to pay tribute.

Do you have a sailboat, a home, a special scene or even your pet you would like immortalised in a painting? Jenny will paint your image in your choice of watercolour, oil or acrylic, with the background of your choosing. Past commissions include a watercolour of feluccas on the Nile, framed under glare-free glass, and a 4′ × 5′ oil painted as a memento of a couple's Camino pilgrimage from France to Spain.
