Introducing...

For full blog post with large scale pictures, go to http://www.thingsthatinspire.net/2012/12/introducing-paintings-of-jennifer-ferris.html 

I am very excited to introduce the work of artist Jennifer Ferris to the Quatrefoil Design store!


A small painting from Jennifer's bird series - sold very soon after I put it in the store.


I have known Jennifer since we lived in the same apartment complex in Boston 17 years ago (our husbands were attending graduate school together), and was always impressed and inspired by her love of art and her devotion to developing her artistic talent. Despite the fact that the apartments were tiny, Jennifer always had an easel set up and a canvas in the works.

After taking time to focus on her young sons, Jennifer started painting in earnest a few years ago, and is represented in several local galleries. She has started to find her own unique style, and I love what is she is creating these days!

I am featuring small scale works from Jennifer.  I particularly like small scale paintings, as they go so well in groupings, on gallery walls, on tabletops, in book cases, and in those small but important spaces.  If you are interested in larger scale works feel free to email me at quatrefoildesign@gmail.com.

"Diamonds in the Sky" measures 3.5" x 3.5" x 1.5" deep, wood board, mixed media (acrylic, collage & ink).
This painting is in the shape of a wood block, so can stand alone on a shelf or table, but is also wired to hang.


"Dot Dot Dot" measures 3.5" x 3.5" x 1.5" on deep wood board, mixed media (acrylic, collage, & ink).
This painting is in the shape of a wood block, so can stand alone on a shelf or table, but is also wired to hang.

  1. LOVE her work, Holly! So glad you are carrying this! Don't you just love knowing someone before they become famous, so to speak? The girl that did my children's portraits was just a neighbor…now you can't get on her waiting list! I will treasure those portraits forever!
