About Jen Grove
Hello! I am an artist from Pensacola Beach, Florida. Having lived over 50 years near one of our many beautiful coasts here and in Maine, I have learned that I am much calmer and "more me" when I can smell that salty air. While I've been designing and creating for many years, I have recently retired from my corporate career and am spending my newfound time and energy growing my artistic talents and creating. Whether painting, designing jewelry or handcrafting home decor items, I feel called to capture the calm and tranquility of our nation’s stunning coastline so we can enjoy that feeling in our everyday lives, no matter where we are.
Bracelets
Don't you just love having a bowl of beauties to choose from each morning to create a stack perfect for your day? These hand-beaded stretch bracelets are created from high quality gemstone, bone, wood and recycled glass, brass and silver beads. They are designed to be worn alone or in stacks, mixed in with other favorites from your collection. Bracelets are made to fit a standard 7 inch wrist unless otherwise noted.
I'm happy to create custom stacks, different sizes or larger quantities - these are perfect gifts for a girls weekend, bridesmaids, or for girlfriends. Just message me via the contact page.
Happy stacking!

Original Encaustic Paintings
Encaustic, a time-honored painting method, relies on molten beeswax, damar resin, and oil pigments. This technique has been utilized throughout history by civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks for creating murals, portraits, and ship decorations. My method consists of numerous layers of plaster, acrylic paints, encaustic medium, and oil pigments fused together to produce a unique depth and luminosity. I have fallen in love with this medium as it teaches me to relinquish control and have faith in the process. My hope is that these paintings will bring back memories of your favorite days by the water.
