Well hello!

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet! My name is Jennifer Cupp and my painting journey started when I was 40. I can’t remember a time not creating something and as a kid my room was filled with all kinds of projects from hand-stamped cards and puffy paint to cross stitch and scrapbooking. As an adult I had a photography studio for 13 years and then opened Buttercupp Candles with my husband. I’ve always had a love for art but never attempted it because I thought you had to know how to draw. One day while scrolling facebook I came across a video that stopped me in my tracks. It was a tutorial on how to paint using a palette knife. I began that very day and have never looked back!

I now use a mix of brushes and palette knives but I love creating heavy textured art that makes you want to reach out and touch it! My most favorite subject to paint is whimsical flowers with a heavy dose of patterns thrown in with the occasional church or barn popping up.

Most of my painting is done early in the morning while I drink my coffee before work and when I’m not painting you’ll find me hanging out with my husband KC of 28 years or with my three kids and grandson. My dog and a cat are always under my feet and keep me company while I paint.
