Hi there! Thank you for stopping by!
Welcome! I’m Jennifer. I love drawing playful, expressive characters and environments with strong lighting. If I’m doing that with my dog, Frisket, at my side (and maybe a pastry just out of paw’s reach), even better!
I’ve spent decades building my technical and narrative skills. I often pull from my background in graphic design, film, and comic book illustration to convey the story in the best possible way.
I have so much fun creating rich visuals and helping people tell their stories, and I’m excited to tell some of my own, too!
