Storage Wars Texas: Artist Jenny Grumbles

With the second season of Storage Wars  just around the corner many have wondered about the cast and who would join the furious bidding and the hopeful money-making auction hunters.

Jenny Grumbles is one of the new stars about to join the limelight. A&E has referred to her as bright, bubbly, and they’ve hinted at her intelligence. Who is Jenny Grumbles though? Where did she come from and how did she end up joining the cast of this popular show?

Artist Jenny Grumble

Growing up in southern California while spending her summers in Texas and Georgia, Grumbles is what you could call a southern girl. She has a knack for restoring old furniture and has one of those creative minds that just won’t rest.

Grumbles attended school in the Southern Methodist University where she ultimately received her degree in 2002 for Journalism and Studio Arts. Since then, she’s devoted a lot of her days to painting, founding the J. Grumbles Studio located in San Diego.

Grumbles is a popular artist that has been represented in several different galleries and shops including Atlanta, Newport Beach, Dallas, Laguna Niguel, Palm Springs, San Diego, and Balboa Island. She has her own shop as well in Dallas; Uptown Country Home.

Recognizing her painting passion way back in 1994, Grumbles has created her own impressionist style that has a focus on light and color and using loose brush strokes. She never uses black when she paints. She has done some commissioned work as well as paintings of children on the beach, floral masterpieces, and the inside of homes.

Claudia Hartley, from Arizona, is Grumble’s mentor and one of the ones that Grumble attributes her success to. Hartley is a renowned artist in her own right. Grumbles also gives credit to Anne Irwin, a gallery owner in Atlanta.

In 2001, Grumbles hit a milestone by having her first solo show in Atlanta. Since then, she has participated in several other shows including her debut: J.Grumbles Studio’s West Coast Premiere that took place in Newport Beach, California.

Grumbles is currently a member of both the California Art Club and the Impressionist Society of America.

Jenny Grumbles on Storage Wars Texas

Grumbles was originally sold a storage unit by a friend named Adam. Inside this storage unit, she found a bunch of old, broken furniture. Not to be dissuaded from the condition, Jenny bought the mess for $1,000. She revived the contents of the unit and ended up being able to sell the pieces for a total of $5,000.

Since then, Grumbles has been working on a mechanism for trying to buy and revitalize the contents of storage units. While she’s never been to an auction (yet), Grumbles has a plan. She’s going to snatch up the units that most buyers run from and then ‘up-cycle’ the materials that are within the unit into more merchandise she can sell for profit.

Grumbles is a store owner that considers herself to be handy, design-oriented, and definitely a business strategist. Look out Storage Wars Texas! This blonde, bubbly southern girl might just make some decent money!
