Monks, Jenni

My name is Jenni Monks and I am an artist living in the beautiful Surrey Hills with my four cats.

I have been drawing, painting and creating for as long as I can remember. Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do. I have been fortunate to enjoy a career spanning both interior design and art, helping people create beautiful homes.

One of the greatest influences on my artistic journey was the opportunity to paint alongside Mary Fedden, whose work and guidance have had a lasting impact on my approach to colour, composition and storytelling. I also greatly admire the work of John Button and Sonia Barton, whose distinctive styles continue to inspire me.

When I’m not at my easel, you’ll often find me at my sewing machine, creating beautiful handmade pieces for the home. I’m an out-and-out creative, and I make no apology for it—making and creating is simply who I am.
