Welcome! I'm Jacquelyn! I grew up on the beaches of Jupiter, Florida with salty hair, sandy toes, brightly colored swimsuits and warm weather year round.
After graduating from College, I packed my car and moved to Colorado to start my career in Corporate America. My experiences were positive overall but after some time, I realized that I was driven by the creative and entrepreneurial spirit that had been passed onto me from my parents.
I returned to the Sunshine State with a feeling that can only be described as a lack of direction. I took positions in Construction and Interior Design, and waitressed at night to pay my bills. I figured out what I was passionate about. All the positions I took and the books I read reignited a passion for design and creation that I had buried and forgotten or perhaps never fully realized.
I asked myself tough questions and kept coming back to the fact that throughout my life, art and creation had always been a sort of secret garden that I would come back to when the world seemed dark and gray. They gave me comfort, and in times of stress they reminded me of the happy times I had as a kid, playing and creating just for fun.
Today, they provide a sense of calm and challenge. I started playing with a variety of mediums and found the perfect storm in illustrations, lettering and pattern design. To be able to have fun while creating something uniquely my own and see it through from start to the finished product was a rush unlike anything I have ever experienced.
It brings me so much joy to be able to express myself through my art and to have the opportunity to share that with others. I have loved drawing since I was a little girl and I never imagined it would bring me here but it has and I am so grateful and excited to see what is next.
