Jenny is the fifth of seven children, all of whom showed drawing talent. From the age of 8, her drawings were published in the Sun-Herald children’s lift-out pages, and she won prizes in competitions as diverse as the Coca-Cola summer beach sand modelling competition, billboard painting, and a Dulux egg painting competition at Easter 1973. After completing Graphic Design at Randwick TAFE, she worked as a freelance illustrator, graphic designer and copywriter.

Picture Book Illustration

Jenny works in pastel, watercolour, coloured pencil, and in Photoshop, concentrating on figure illustration.

Writing

A voracious reader, Jenny wrote fantasy stories from the age of 10. Her adult writing career was restricted to advertising copy until her 5th picture book, a maze book about a princess’s quest. Little Frog (2007) followed. In 2009 Jenny returned to her writing roots with Jatta, a darker fantasy. It explores the torment of a princess werewolf, who cannot control her bloodlust.

Jenny has reviewed for the Sydney Morning Herald Spectrum and regularly reviews for the Sun-Herald.
