My name is Jennica, very nice to meet you! I was born in Montreal, and I currently live in Hamilton, Ontario with my family. I love to read and draw and think up fun ideas and draw the fun ideas I think and read about. I went to school to study animation, and I fell in love with the idea that animation is all about making art move. Illustrating picture books came naturally- I have always been a passionate picture book appreciator- and now I get to tell stories that move with illustration. One of my favourite things in this life is getting lost in the magic of reading a book, and I love helping to create that magic using art.
Over the past few years I have worked on picture books with publishers and self-publishing authors on all sorts of incredible projects! Previous clients include Little Tiger Press, Beaming Books, Worthy Kids (Hachette), Crabtree Press, Cottage Door Press, The Canadian Council on Invasive Species, and others. I have also been known to draw commissioned illustrations of much-loved homes, recipes for restaurants and magazines, medical diagrams for journals, and many, many, many lovely cats.
Please send me a message if you’d like to work on a project together!
