Jenny Junior: The Story of Creating Unique Art from Vintage Jewels and Polished Stones
Jenny Junior is an interior designer and commercial artist. Jenny founded her design studio over 20 years ago and is now recognised as one of the leading, independent, interior designers in Hertfordshire.
With a passion for vintage jewellery, Jenny began creating pictures using the reflective beauty of vintage jewels, semi-precious stones, pearls, glass and gold-work, to create dreamlike images from nature and the natural world.
Every jewel, stone and bead is hand-stitched onto a silk canvas, over hundreds of hours, to create unique pictures which glisten in the light. Jenny’s art can be viewed at galleries in Hertfordshire and her work has featured in exhibitions curated by the Harpenden Art Society.
Each piece is constituted from multiple, semi-precious materials, including real pearls, abalone shell, malachite, blue quartz, agate, amethyst, onyx and silver or gold thread needlework. The collection comprises scenes from the ocean, from landscape and from myth and magic.
In addition to her own commercially available art, Jenny takes commissions from the general public. Jenny comments: “if you possess cherished pieces of vintage or costume jewellery and would like to preserve them in a unique way, I can work with you to create something truly unique to display in your home".
