Announcement
Important shop announcement: I need to catch up on my current custom orders and hold off on taking new ones for the next couple of months or so. I will continue to stock my shop with my standard sizes and runners, ready to ship! Thank you for your understanding, and I will look forward to resuming custom offerings as soon as I am able! Please reach out if you would like to be placed on a wait list to be notified when I am ready 🙂
My passion is creating unique and meaningful artwork for your home, and all sales support pain management for my daughter battling Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS/RSD) and Fibromyalgia. I create original hand cut and painted latex on heavy #8 (18 oz) cotton canvas for use as a durable rug to protect floors and tabletops, or hang on the wall as fine art. Each one is unique due to the rustic fabric texture and free hand production; I do not use stencils. The natural fibers and paint process creates some size variation. I hope you will enjoy the discovery of this handmade quality that has been lost in cheap mass production and drive for machine made perfection.
My product is inspired by the technique and use of painted canvas floor coverings in the 18th century. This has a reputation for lasting many years with proper care, being very durable, and can even be repainted if needed. I enjoy researching my designs from original sources from the 1700s, such as Delft tiles, Chinoiserie wallpaper, newspaper graphics and illustrations. Most of the places I show my work are historical events and locations, such as George Washington's Mount Vernon, in Virginia. I enjoy these events that immerse us in the 18th century, which includes us dressing for the time period and creating a whole experience for visitors.
The sale of my art does not transfer copyright or any reproduction rights, although they may be available.
Thank you for supporting a one woman owned business!

5 out of 5 starsI am so pleased with this beautiful mat. Color is even richer in person. I love my tribal rugs but my dust mite allergy does not! I placed this beauty at the bedside for purer air at night. So far so good! Thanks

5 out of 5 starsThe floor cloth I received was perfect in the entryway of my 1905 home. It seems easy to clean and maintain. I love to see someone keeping an old craft alive.

5 out of 5 starsI was delighted with the canvas floorcloth from Jennifer McKay Higgins. It was a special order made to fit the dimensions which I requested for my home office. The result was even better than I had hoped. It looks beautiful, is easy to keep clean, and seems to be sturdy.
