Meet MFAMB!

Jenny is an actress, interior designer, blogger, talented artist,
 mama, and all around hilarious lady.

Her blog is a daily read for me and her work and eye for color are quite inspiring.
 

Also, I have high hopes of one day owning one of Jenny's pieces.

 Hells yeah I will.

 Her adorable family: Mike, Fiona, and Jenny.

 

1. Name, Astrology sign, and location please. 

Jennifer Lynn Andrews-Anderson the 3rd. not really. i go by jenny mostly. or mfamb or asshole or mommy. i am a sagittarius and i live in atlanta, georgia.

2. What are you currently working on? 

so much actually. lots of commissions and design work as well. at the moment i am working with a hot young womanlady and her living room which opens up into her dining room which opens up into her kitchen. it's a total challenge and i love it. but i also hate it bc it makes my brain hurt and i'd rather be eating sour cream and onion potato chips while i watch mad men. not really. well, i would rather be doing that some days. but i am grateful to be doing things that feed my creative soul.

3. Who are your favorite artists? 

many. i love allison schulnik's work. it's intense and beautiful. she must spend thousands a month on paint. she uses globs of oil paint. but there are so many!! leah fraser's portraits are insanely beautiful. i tend to love art that is strange and beautiful. frida kahlo...a good example. i love southern american folk art as well. i think it inadvertently creeps into my own work. at the end of the day i am moved by color. color drives my desire to paint.

4. What's the best advice you ever received about your career choice? 

i have never received any advice about painting bc it's not and has not been my career choice for most of my life. acting is still what i consider to be my career. though lately i am producing more paintings than performances. but i think from a creativity aspect..the best advice i've ever received is to be yourself and to never self edit from a creative standpoint. you can edit the final product but while you are performing or painting or writing just let your freak flag fly. i write, paint and perform from my gut. i strive to contrive nothing. also i am not afraid of failure or looking like an idiot. i think that's what sets me apart from a lot of people.

5. Favorite place(s) in your city? 

my favorite place is serenbe. which is some farm land for rich people about an hour south of the city. i could curl up in a ball on the grass in a meadow and just be there for hours and feel like a motherfucking champ.

6. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? 
And while we're at it, what about a different era?

if i could live anywhere in the world it would be the english countryside, in a cottage, with my husband and daughter and cats. i would do exactly what i am doing right now only i would be a lot richer from it and i would rock some chickens in my back yard.

if i could pick an era it would be the 60's. i'm on a mad men kick.
