Lenny! He walked into the studio a few years ago, introduced himself as an artist relocating from Santa Fe (drool), and became a fast friend. He is a father, a talented photographer, owns Gallery One Forty One downtown, and chose to share these words with us:

Sweet Irene, the painting in the middle, sold! Woo! These were my Tanzanian students back in 2011, and I am so excited to see these paintings move because 100% of the proceeds benefit these kids (actually young adults, now). I have a handful left, if you’re interested, please reach out. #evenmeproject #jennaalexanderstudio

We had THE BEST turn out this weekend! Thank you for showing up, you guys.
.
Here’s an up-close of my six foot foraged canvas. I can’t tell you how much freedom I experienced by painting with movement, intuition, and exploration compared to my usual detailed and accurate work. I strive to make discoveries in art by experimenting with different approaches and while that makes the artist in me happy, it makes the entrepreneur in me terrified!
.
Yesterday, I sold one painting. And I’m telling you this because I’d rather have an honest platform than a platform that makes you feel less than because I’m only sharing highlights. I don’t necessarily feel great about selling one painting, but I do feel feel amazing about producing a body of work that I absolutely love. I adore this series, and what I’ve learned along the way.
.
We all have our bread and butter, but I encourage you to paint what you want to paint sooner. Deviate from the norm. And show your work even if it’s scary! What’s the worst that can happen?
