Hi!! I’m Jenna Franz. I am the owner, operator, artist and one woman show behind Lu and Ives. I was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs and now living and working in the greater D.C. area. I am mildly obsessed with balloons and flowers……okay, maybe slightly more than a mild obsession. Why Lu and Ives you ask? Those are my kids, Lucy and Ivy. The ones I work so hard for and the reason for my passion. They deserve the credit.

Very few pieces I make can be replicated exactly due to limited paper patterns and colors. So rest assured that your purchased artwork will definitely be one of a kind!!

My work can be seen and purchased in person at Painted Tree Boutiques located in Dulles, VA [24670 Dulles Landing Dr., Dulles, VA 20166 {Space G15}] and for a limited time at Locally Crafted located in Gaithersburg, MD [9 Grand Corner Ave].

I believe that art should make you happy and make you smile every time you walk by it. Click the button below if you want to discuss a custom piece that will do just that.
