How to Contact David Jenks and Inquire About His Paintings

Updated

The site djenks.com includes a Contact page in its main navigation, and that is the route to use for any inquiry about David Jenks or his work. The site does not publish a direct email address, phone number, or contact form details in the material available here, so the practical approach is to open the Contact page and use whatever channel it provides. Availability varies by painting: at least one work, Swan Song (oil on canvas, 30" x 48"), is labeled a private collection, which means it is already owned and not for sale.

Where to Find the Contact Route

The navigation on djenks.com lists these sections:

  • Gallery
  • Sea & Skyscapes
  • Landscapes
  • News Archive
  • Portraits
  • Still Lifes
  • About (with Biography and Highlights)
  • Contact

The Contact entry is the intended channel for reaching the artist. Because the page content itself is not reproduced in the available material, treat the Contact page as the starting point rather than assuming a specific email or form.

What to Include in Your Inquiry

A useful first message is short and specific. For example, if you are interested in a landscape or a still life, name the section and the painting title, then ask:

  1. Whether the work is available or already in a private collection.
  2. The price, if it is available.
  3. Size and medium confirmation (the site lists details such as "oil on canvas, 30" x 48"").
  4. Shipping or viewing options, if relevant to you.

Including the title and the gallery section helps avoid confusion, since the site organizes work into Sea & Skyscapes, Landscapes, Portraits, and Still Lifes.

Check Availability Before You Ask

Some paintings are explicitly marked as private collections. Swan Song is one example. If a work carries that label, it is not available for purchase, and an inquiry is better framed as a question about similar available work, a commission, or where the piece has been exhibited. The News Archive and Highlights sections may also mention exhibitions or recent activity worth referencing in your message.

If You Want to Learn More First

Before contacting the artist, browse the category pages that match your interest. The About section, including Biography and Highlights, gives background on Jenks and his technique. Reading these first makes your inquiry more focused and shows you have looked at the specific body of work you are asking about.

Common Pitfalls

  • Assuming a published email. None is confirmed in the available material; use the Contact page.
  • Asking about a sold work as if it were for sale. Check for a "private collection" note first.
  • Vague messages. A title, category, and clear question get a faster, more useful reply.

The Contact page is the single reliable entry point; everything else on the site is there to help you decide which painting or body of work to ask about.
