Jennifer Griffin Studios
Jennifer Griffin is an artist and fine art photographer, a storyteller, in the North Metro-Atlanta
In the case you were wondering what I was up to and why I have been absent from social media... It's because I have been super busy behind the scenes! This week a piece of my art will be in an exhibit here locally at Reeves House at Woodstock Arts. I am prepping for not one, but TWO festivals this season. Both in October. The Georgia Mushroom Festival (https://georgiamushroomfestival.com) and the Tybee Island Pirate Fest! So many new things exclusive for these festivals. And new stuff in my etsy shop. And I officially have a business manager! So hopefully I can spend more time creating and posting!
I know it's been a while since I've posted. I'll post a video update soon but in the mean time, I did my first show in nearly a year. I was surprised at the turnout of people despite it being hotter than the surface of the sun. And, again, be on the look out for an update on what's new.

I've been diligently working and creating to bring you some amazing mermaid and fairy pieces just in time for this festival season!
I still have a spot in November and December for shows if anyone knows of a show that I would fit into.
Caught a glimpse of a fae queen recently. Stay tuned for more images.
I have been working on finding shows and exhibits to do for this year and next. Hopefully I will be seeing everyone in person more often! In the mean time here is my booth from Art on the Green in the fall.
At the suggestion of a friend, I entered a local art contest. I entered in 2 categories and I won first place in both! If you are local, my work will be displayed at the Cherokee History Center with the other winners and you can come and view all the art pieces March 15th 2024 through April 15th 2024. There is also an opening reception On Friday March 15th where all the artists will be there, including myself.

Another image from late last year. Her headdress has already sold but I still love the image.
It's been several months since I've picked up my camera. Again. The creative struggle is very much a reality for me in this season. I do have some things brewing. But I need to find the motivation to start.
Reaching back to my home interior days on this one. I will have more mini fairy gardens coming soon both on line and in the store.

It's so hard to keep up. As a woman who wears many hats, the list is miles long for each hat. And, burnout is a real thing. Both as a business owner as well as an artist. Sometimes, you just need a little bit of motivation to keep moving forward. What motivates you to keep pushing on?
Working on some new designs for spring 2024. Be on the look out for new forest pieces and mermaid pieces!
Remembering that, time I threw a Hobbit party for St. Patrick's day in 2018. I miss hosting parties.
Throw back to 2020, photography image. I miss doing this on the regular. Maybe someday I can get back in it again.
New herddresses and crowns being added everyday! Like this dark mermaid crown. One of a kind. Beautiful. Mysterious. Just like you! With free standard domestic shipping. Link in profile.
I'm very excited to be adding some everyday functional pieces to my inventory. The newest being loose leaf tea infusers. I have several different designs to choose from. First are the Wizard School, house crests. These are available now here:

Another one of my favorites from the faun photo shoot recently. The forest space was so beautiful. Rich color and warm light of the setting sun. Her headdress is available to purchase. Link in my profile.
Another still shot from the past weekend's faun photo shoot. I particularly love this shot. The lighting in the little forest nook where we were was perfectly highlighting her face.
I said I'd post stills from this fantasy photo session with these sisters, and here they are... I loved photographing the girls in my headdresses and makeup. The day we chose to shoot was perfectly overcast for a dreamy light in the forest. It just worked. I'll be posting more all day today.
Sometimes, on a whim, I make jewelry. I usually rework vintage pieces or create statement pieces with sculpted and repurposed vintage pieces. Like these here. Link in my profile for the earrings.
I promised I would post these for a better viewing experience over the tiktoc video. Be sure to click on the image for a full resolution view.
In the case we haven't actually met in person, this is me. This is me in my studio holding my favorite tool that I like to use to express my art. I like old things, ancient things. I love the smell of old books, the earth after it rains and fresh flowers. I love the ocean and the deep forest. It took me most of my life to accept the label of artist. And even now, I struggle to say it out loud. I am a complex creature. I am a dreamer. I am fae.
A little sneak peek at my most recent addition to my fairy kingdom... Lady Wisteria. Follow me on Instagram and TikTok to see the latest images and video clips.
Some new things for men are coming soon. As well as more images from this photo shoot!
Just finished this shoot today. Candyland anyone? Stay tuned for more images from this sweet little photo session.
Brendan, from Secret of the Kells. I had posted one of the images of Aisling from this cosplay shoot and I wanted to post others. So, here's me posting others. There are several images from this session that I'll be posting today.
The Book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript. The second image is my vision of what the cover may have looked like, based on other illuminated manuscript covers. The pieces of the book that still survive today are housed in Dublin City's Trinity College. One day, I will go see it in person.
In honor of my Irish family and ancestry (my great-grandfather), I am reposting this photo shoot of Aisling, the forest fairy from The Secret of the Kells. If you have not seen this animated film, it is amazing. The animation is suburb. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. There are several images from this photoshoot. But this image was the first that came to my mind. I'll be posting several images from this series today.
I think it's time to do another faun character. I have a new headdress made with antlers. I want to try a little bit of a different makeup this time, though.

Art Photography & Mixed Media Artist
Jennifer Griffin is a self-taught artist, a visual storyteller, residing in the North Metro-Atlanta area. She uses various techniques and mediums to tell her stories, including photography, costume design and mixed media.
Jennifer started creating as soon as she could pick up a crayon and over the years developed multiple skills in the arts. In 1999 she opened an interior design business that moved into creating accessories for children and adults in 2011.
One of Jennifer’s most influential inspirations is nature, just after her cultural heritage of Scottish and American Indian roots. All of these influences can be seen in her work. All of her pieces are original designs and characters, only borrowing from the myths and legends of her heritage. Be that nature is both an influence to her ancestors and herself; Jennifer feels the need to reuse and repurpose as many items as possible. From fabrics, to vintage jewelry, to found objects, Jennifer has set a goal of using 80% recycled or sustainable pieces in her work at the least. That goal means that anything Jennifer creates is one of a kind or exclusively limited.
Jennifer has been featured in numerous print publications and digital publications. Her most notable features being in Bridal Guide Magazine, Jewelry Affaire Magazine, Handmade Business Magazine and at the Fashion Institute at Humber Collage in Toronto. She has also participated in several artist and art shows in the South and in the Midwest areas. Locally she has participated in RAW-Artists Atlanta, Art on The Green Woodstock, and Atlanta Comic Con.
