I walked for a whole hour today, the longest I’ve taken in years. Due to chronic joint pain I usually stick to a predictable and ‘safe’ route so I don’t find myself too far and needing to hobble back. I don’t know if it&
Good morning from my November bff, ‘Seaton’s J’adore’ (Or ‘Satan’s Door’ as I call it in my head) #Chrysanthemums #SeatonsJadore #PDX #InMyGardenToday
Guess what, I made stickers! I wondered how my little collages would translate into sticker form and I’m very pleased. They’re so cute, I want to stick them everywhere. 🍄🌸🍓 These would make such good gifts 💫 Available in my Etsy sho

If you’re growing mums make sure they’re staked well enough to withstand a downpour. I did not, apparently. On the plus side, I had an excuse to bring flowers into the house to share with you! This is ‘Norton Vic’ 💜 #Chrysan
‘Heather James’ chrysanthemum from @kingsmums 🧡🍂 It was neglected and yet still thrived, which can’t be said for everything (nor should it). I’ve been sharing mums in my stories as well (and will continue to do so as they&
Sunny October mornings 🌞 I have less free times these days so I appreciate early puttering-in-my-nightgown-in-the-garden a lot more. 1 Abraham Darby is at the end of a late summer flush. I hope there’s at least one more before it freezes! T
I love this time of year, when you still have flowers but you also have cooler nights and more grey days. Abe is flowering again and I’ve discovered my new favorite dahlia, Heather Marie. And of course, the zinnia and cosmos patch continues t
Thank you to my garden for giving me the bold color I didn’t know I needed 🩷 Zinnias and cosmos from grocery store seeds, silvery rose and apricot strawflowers from a friend. (Bonus photo of Henri hiding under the garden hats I set on the fl
I forgot I scanned this pansy collage I made for a very special @honeykennedy 🖤 These flowers were part of the 99 pansies I made, saved in a polka-dotted box for future projects. 🌸 #CutPapetCollage #CollageArt #CollageArtistsOfInstagram #Pansies

Hello! My name is Jen K and I’m a multidisciplinary artist living in Portland, Oregon.

I come from a long line of flower enthusiasts including my great-great grandfather who was a horticulturalist and flower farmer. As a child I dreamed of having a garden of my own and today I live in a tiny white house—with my husband and two cats—on a 5000 sq ft plot filled with flowers.

My cottage garden provides endless inspiration for my art. I’m also inspired by folk tales, femininity, decorative art, and cultural artifacts.

Contact me to enquire about commissions or anything else!
