ABOUT THE ARTIST

Professionally known as Jenniemyma (pronounced Jeh-nee-My-Mah) AKA Jennie Sutherland,

Is an established UK based ink artist and illustrator, creating intricate, hand drawn fine art and illustrations for interiors and furnishings that embrace the flare of maximalism, Intricate detail and Imagination.

Jennie has always felt an infinity with animals and a oneness with the natural world around her. Delving deep into intricate patterns from her world travels as a younger dancer and experiencing the wonders that different landscapes had to offer. From the far corners of India to the blue waters of the Bahamas and beyond. Heavily inspired by cultures and historical patterns, Jennie adds her own signature style to her designs with intricate details that take months to complete by hand using pencil and fine liner pen.

After leaving Art college and embarking on her dance career, Jennie later retired from the performance Industry and while continuing to produce her art, went into holistic therapies and teaching, including, yoga, forest therapy and life coaching.

While Jennie qualified as a holistic therapist, it would be these areas that would once again influence Jennie's 'meaning' and purpose for her art and what bought ' the Jenniemyma' brand to life.

While out walking and practicing mindfulness, Jennie would observe nature and be inspired to draw and tell a motivational story.

Each piece of art tells it's own motivational story and so the collections grew.

Present day, Jennie runs the business and produces all of the art by hand as well as hosting art masterclasses. Along side the business, Jennie is also a property stager and keen interior designer, using her skills and knowledge coupled with her holistic influence and art training to help her create the products, prints and now the Jenniemyma homeware range and scarves launching in 2024.

With a nod to the planet, Jennie has always been conscious about creating a brand with future generations in mind, being mindful of materials used and the processes involved.

Jennie also links her brand to charitable causes and offers donations within the sales of her products to benefit the planet, the people and projects around the world, particularly focussing on positive mental health and protecting the forests.

The name 'Jenniemyma' was given to her by her husband, a 'pet' name and gesture towards her qualities, her uniqueness that makes Jennie who she truly is as a person. It was fitting for this name to become Jennie's artistic name.

" It's so important for me that my art is purposeful and helps to inspire and make a difference. Being able to help good causes around the world for people and the planet. This is the core of my work, art truly helps the mind and my art wouldn't be what it is today if it not for the inspiration from nature"
