Ever since Jen was a little kid, she wanted to make picture books.

Jen created her first book one in the fifth grade. Many years later she attended the Rhode Island School of Design and focused on children’s illustration and animation. Her passion for creating narrative artwork has afforded her a career as an illustrator, fine artist, animator and children’s author. She loves making pictures and scenes that tell stories with humor and even a bit of a dark side. Jen works in a studio with four other illustrators in the Pencil Factory in Brooklyn, NY.
