We recently connected with Jenny King and have shared our conversation below. Jenny, appreciate you joining us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out? As I’m contemplating this question, I’m remembering the many risks I’ve taken over the years. The boldest venture I undertook in regard to my artistic career was establishing my own gallery and working studio.

My mom and her hubs went to Italy, so I hijacked a couple of pics from their trip and created these two paintings in the style they prefer. For my boys, I up-cycled empty casings to create American flags and a University of Tennessee "T". It was a little tricky, but so much fun! |
