Live Life in Full Color 🎨 ✨

UNO Souls Chat

I am honored to be chatting today with Jen Sterling. She is the Chief Red Head for Jen Sterling Art. Jen is a fine artist located in Annapolis, Maryland. She recently exited life as an entrepreneur in branding and design, where she founded three companies over 30 years. While traveling in the American southwest with her sister almost 20 years ago, she was struck by the colors she saw there – so vivid, so alive, so powerful. The experience struck her so much that when she came home she immediately bought paint and canvas and started trying to convey the rich spectrum of emotions those colors evoked in her. What started as a hobby has become her full-time passion. Not an easy road, but an enriching one for sure. Her work now inspires energy and excitement in homes and workspaces across the country. She works large and small and adores commissions. This is her website: jensterling.com

"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art." — Andy Warhol
