About Jenny

Jenny Morley Licht has painted for decades in oil, acrylic and mixed media, much of it heavily textured and worked with gold and silver leaf. The subjects are mostly what is outside the studio door in Southwest Florida — herons and pelicans, koi and sea turtles, sawgrass under a big sky — alongside commissions that take her onto other people's walls.

She works from the studio at home in Estero, teaches small groups and private classes there, and answers her own phone.

Buying a piece

There is no cart here, on purpose. Ask about a painting and Jenny answers herself — call or text 715.590.3445, or send a message. She will tell you what it looks like in person, what it weighs, and whether it suits the wall you have in mind.

Payment is by Venmo (Jenny-Licht-2), Zelle (715.590.3445 or jennymlichtt@yahoo.com) or check. Local delivery and installation in Southwest Florida are free; shipping elsewhere is at cost.

If a piece you love has already sold, say so anyway — most can be reworked as a special order in your size and colours, at no extra fee.
