Minimalistic Metal Prints 

Ready to hang! These minimalistic metal prints don’t require any framing, unrolling, or special hardware. They come in two different orientations: the mountain prints (Assiniboine and The Three Sisters) come in landscape orientation (Horizontal) and the animal prints come in portrait orientation (Vertical). All of my designs are available. The metal prints are made-to-order and will be shipped within 1-2 weeks.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

WHO

Hi! I’m Jenn, the girl behind Pen On Paper Co. I’m a self-taught Canadian artist based in Kelowna, BC. I mainly work with ink and oil; my two favourite mediums!

WHAT

Nature and animals are definitely my biggest inspiration. Animals have so much personality and charisma, which can definitely be a challenge to capture sometimes, but that’s why it’s so fun! I feel that art can really tie together a room and bring that cosy ‘home’ feeling like nothing else. I strive to run my business as ethically as possible, from sourcing products that are sustainable, organic, fair-trade, produced locally, and recycled.

One of my favourite things about my ‘ink’ line is that it’s very minimalistic; an approach I apply to many areas of my life. The simplicity I strive for in my ink sketches is done on purpose. The lack of background, branches, terrain, and colour in my animal pieces forces the viewer to pay attention to the animal’s character and personality. They can be the main focal point in a room or accents to your larger, more colourful pieces; allowing you to have more art in your home. I also feel like they’re very adaptable and can fit into any room and style. They’re still rough and sexy like a sketch should be, but with a little more depth than pencil. The drawback? It’s full commitment; there’s no erasing ink!

HOW

I have been creating art my entire life and started my art business in January 2019; I have been running it full-time ever since. I was a server for 6 years prior to starting my business and found that I longed for more creativity and independence in my life, so I made an ad on the Facebook marketplace showcasing some of my pieces and asking if anyone would be interested in purchasing prints if I had them made. I got an overwhelming response and so I made my first order of prints and quit my job a month later to pursue this full-time.

WHERE

You can find my pieces in over 60 stores across Canada and the US, and at various local markets in the Okanagan including the Kelowna Farmers’ Market, Vernon Farmers’ Market, Peachland Farmers’ Market, and Penticton Downtown Community Market. During the Christmas season, you can find me in Vancouver at Circle Craft and the Make It Show, and in Calgary at the Art Market Craft Sale.

A few other shows that you may have seen me at include the BC Home and Garden Show, West Coast Women’s Show, Calgary Stampede, RAW Artists, Market Collective, Festival of Crafts, Calgary Women’s Show, Little Modern Market, Inglewood Night Market, Little Modern Market, Creative Chaos, and the IPE.
