Jenny Greenteeth (singular and plural) is a river-hag with green skin, long hair, and sharp teeth who, according to most traditions, is known to drag people into the water. There are many other cautionary folktales around the globe that feature similar stories. I first learned about this creature when I read the book “Greenteeth” by Molly O’Neill. In the book, Jenny is not a villain (although she has eaten a person from time to time), but rather a curious and protective creature who wants her carefully tended pond to exist in peace. There are other Jenny Greenteeth, each living a solitary life in their own watery domains.
I felt inspired to paint one! Perhaps she lurks in a nearby lake or river… If you happen to meet her, let’s hope she is in good spirits and of the curious variety!

In 2014, I had been going to art conventions for years, and I noticed a consistent puzzle. Artists were all talking about the struggle to sell, and everyone else was talking about the struggle to buy. Artists wanted to sell more work and experiment more outside their comfort zone. And the people buying wanted to buy more than they did. But the artists had to be consistent at these shows, and their art was often (deservedly) out of a starting collector’s price range.
I created Every Day Original to solve this puzzle. And it’s become much more.
At “EDO,” as it was soon called, we created a platform for artists to experiment with small work and for everyone to be able to start their art collection. Over the years, the success of EDO has allowed us to showcase new voices and voices that might otherwise not be “big” enough. Because we feature new work every single day, everyone has an opportunity to start their collection and support this vision.
By joining our mailing list, you join a community of people who believe that art isn’t just a commodity. It’s a passion and way of life that deserves to be seen and celebrated every day.
