Precise, personal, and purposeful custom art for you and your community
Jenie Gao Studio is an anti-gentrification arts business. But what does this mean in practice?
It means understanding the cultural context that we’re creating work within and planning for the full lifespan of the art we introduce into the community.
If you believe in the earnest work that creates long-term, sustainable movements, then let’s start our conversation here. But if you’re looking for a quick and fast muralist / artist to capitalize on the trends of a social moment, then Jenie Gao Studio is not for you.
You’ve come to me because you believe in the power of art to inspire, catalyze, and lead a moment into a movement. That’s wonderful. Let’s work together to align your symbolic ideals with real, systemic change.
Email here@jenie.org with a summary of your project, organization (if representing one), timeline, dimensions (for murals / large paintings), and budget.
Every new project starts with a free 30-minute consultation and a quote. Quotes always have at least two options to cater to your unique needs.
Client, Working Draft Beer Company
"We at Working Draft Beer Company engaged Jenie to create a ~200 sq ft mural on a cement block wall inside our taproom prior to opening. From the first meeting, Jenie thoroughly impressed us with her organization, active listening, razor-sharp intellect, and phenomenal talent. All of Jenie's finished pieces inspire awe, but perhaps more incredible was to witness how Jenie works, how she shepherded (on time and on budget!) the notes and vague concepts we gave her to a stunning, completed piece of art that is now an inextricable thread of our identity as a business. We are indebted to Jenie for her talents, and as a writer myself, I am personally grateful for the many hours of conversation I had with Jenie about the practice, creation, engagement, and purpose of art. I cannot recommend an artist more sincerely if one is looking for not just a beautiful piece of art but for an aesthetic experience that will profoundly impact your life."
Client, CEO of Building Brave
"Jenie Gao is an amazing artist and compassionate person. She turned my home and dream into a daily inspiration. I hope more organizations and businesses see the positive role they can play in bringing art, creativity and innovation into our community."
Client, Katie Bast Realtor
"Jenie has wonderful vision and a creative process that allowed me to express my ideas and her to transform them into a beautiful custom piece of artwork. Her passionate approach coupled with her direct communication made the entire experience not only seamless, but incredibly enjoyable. It's rare to find anyone in business looking down the road to ensure this is not just a transaction but a long-term relationship where you feel welcomed to contact her to do more work or simply discuss how best to use/promote it. I'd give 6 stars if I could."
Art Collector
