Specialties
TraillWorks on the 3rd Floor is the private studio of owner /artist, Jennie Traill Schaeffer. Out of her studio she offers private and small group art lessons and creates her unique oil paintings of vintage kitchen appliances and aprons and specializes in custom Wedding Cake Portraits.
History
Established in 2005.
Schaeffer founded TraillWorks in 2005 out of her Boonton, NJ apartment. Upon relocating to Newton, NJ, the artist worked out of a small bedroom studio teaching private lessons and developing her work. In 2008 she made the leap of renting a storefront on Newton’s Spring Street, expanding her studio and opening a gallery to show her work. From 2010 — 2013 she operated a larger studio where she held private, small group lessons and artist-led workshops, alongside a contemporary art gallery. TraillWorks has returned once again to a private space on the 3rd Floor of her home in West Orange from where the artist will continue teaching art lessons and creating her own artwork.
