Art Inspired // Jenny Andrews Anderson

I still remember the very first day one of my co-workers introduced me to My Favorite and My Best. I was hooked immediately. There was tons of decor porn, some spot on moodboards, much hilarity, and promises of dairy free eating equaling less cellulite. I think my first comment was something like "can we please be best friends???"

Fast forward several years and now the girl is blowing up the art scene. Well, my art scene at least. And now everyone's if you read a little known shelter mag called House Beautiful (check the June editor's letter). I was lucky enough to snag one of her first paintings (still need to frame it. major fail) and I swear she just keeps getting better and better. Her palettes are always nails. Color selection is truly a skill and she has it.


Jenny Instagrammed one of her latest paintings last night (it was snagged immediately) and suggested it would be perfect for a nursery. I agree. I love the idea of a super neutral space with the barely gray walls (or a super pale pink if decorating for a little miss) and a crazy soft white shag rug so her work is center stage.


You can see all of Jenny's work here. If you see one you love but it's sold, she takes commissions!

    Yep, she's a gem. Glad to have some of her goodies before she skyrockets, and I can't afford it! ;)
    Nice design board, too.

    I love using bright colors in my paintings and just came across her work and I love it. The colors are beautiful and so is her work. Also the nursery picks are lovely!
