Hello! My name is Jennifer Doehring.

I'm part German and part Native American.

I'm a published author-illustrator of children's picture books.

Born and raised on the West Coast, I received my fine art degree from the University of California- Irvine, and I went on to open my own art studio called Palette Passions, where I teach painting and drawing to students of all ages. My work is shown and sold in galleries locally and internationally, as well as online.

I have a huge passion for travel. I enjoy learning about other cultures and have traveled to over thirty-five countries. I'm also quite obsessed with nature. If I'm being honest, I could live out in the wilderness in a tent and be perfectly happy. Backpacking is my favorite hobby and I try to incorporate all elements of nature I experience while traveling in my illustrations for children.

With both my writing and my art, I strive for humor and a touch of curious whimsy, knowing the world can throw plenty of struggle and worry our way. I believe that through funny, charming, and heartfelt illustrations and stories, I can connect with children and adults alike.

I'm represented by Sorche Fairbank of Fairbank Literary and am a member of the Society of Children's Books Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI).

Cheers!
