Bio
Kendall Gatgens
I worked with JJ from August 2022 to March 2023. She had her artwork up for sale at a grocery store where I was working as an art coordinator. JJ was beyond a delight to work with! She was one of the first artists (in fact I believe the first) I worked with when I assumed the position of art coordinator for the store's cafe. At the time the position had been vacant for over a year, and there had not been new artwork in for even longer than that. I was hoping to find an artist to bring new charismatic artwork for sale. When JJ contacted me she granted my wish! She brought beautiful vibrant paintings, that gifted a whole new energy to the cafe. Not only that, I was also working as the cashier when one of her paintings sold, it was amazing to see the joy her work brought to others. JJ is an amazing and professional artist. I hope many people out there continue to support her independent work on Mixed Messages Zine, and I'm jealous of any employer who gets such an amazing person as an employee!
