OWNER & ARTIST

Hello! I'm Jen Kneen, owner of Second Spring Studios, and actively working on a second spring for my own life.

Recently I left a 30-year career in corporate communications to take care of some health issues that I had neglected. To get myself out of my over-thinking mind (as if I wasn't already out of my mind!) I visited estate sales and thrift shops.

At one of the sales I fell in awe with a set of vintage china, pattern shown here. I mean isn't is exquisite???

I didn't NEED a complete set of pristine china. But, it was going to the landfill if I didn't take it. And they only asked $10.

I couldn't leave it.

Now I work from home where my studio space has taken over half of the library, all of the garage, most of the dining room, some of the kitchen, and an entire small bedroom. I am finding joy AND healing those health issues by upcycling vintage china, as well as painting bright and happy florals.

And, yes, I organize my home library by book color. When I worked remote during COVID and the next three years my library was my home office, and I found the organization by color soothing to my reeling mind.
