Interested in my work?
Jessica Kirklin
Hello and welcome! Picture books take me to my happy place! I divide my time between illustrating and writing picture books. Most of my work is handcrafted in watercolors, although some have digital touches. If you are looking for manuscripts or illustrations with animals, nature, and children (in quirky situations, splashed with humor and heart, and almost always including a dog) then you’ve come to the right place. To seal the deal, I’ll list some credentials. .
BFA in Graphic Design from The University of North Alabama
Previous corporate life as an in-house graphic designer for Blockbuster Music and Artisoft, Inc.
Prior Art Instructor PreK-9th.

I live in North Texas with my husband, two daughters, and three dogs; and with a garden full of butterflies, birds, squirrels and nature of all sorts.
