Jennifer Frith, Artist & Illustrator

I believe animals are the best encouragers.

. . .

Hi! I'm Jennifer Frith! You're welcome to call me by my childhood nickname, Jenny.

I'm a mom, wife, artist, animal lover, self-admitted nerd, hopeless romantic, and follower of Jesus.

I sketchbook, illustrate children's books, and try to make the world a brighter place with my artwork.

I encourage other busy, kindhearted creatives to make art for themselves and the world too.

Welcome to my blog! Kick off your shoes and stay for a little while.

One of my favorite prints on my art wall is one I purchased from @mandysteward_ . I love her creative and independent spirit. If you're not familiar with her work, you're missing out! #artists #secretmessagesociety
😄 I feel this dog on so many levels. "My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world." - J. Layton #animalsarethebestencouragers
A different kind of art project. My friend invited me to go to a ladies' art night last weekend. We decorated henna pots. Here is mine with a cute little cactus. Henna is a body-decorating technique dating back to Ancient Egyptian times. It's been said that Cleopatra used the henna plant practice to adorn herself. For this project we used sharpies. I don't recommend using that on your skin. 😚🌵 What creative projects have you completed lately?
It's more attractive too. ✌ 📸 : @soulpancake . . #kindness #artists #encouragement #artiseverywhere
I painted some watercolor butterflies for my sweet almost-2-year-old niece. 🦋 Love that she fills up with wonder over butterflies.
Thank God for art. 🙌 #artists #encouragement #paint #create
I grew into my teeth, but I still love mischief, animals, sketchbooks, learning, and playing in the creek. What were some of your favorite things when you were 7? 💙 . . #bekindtoyourself #littleme #artistsofinstagram

Happy anniversary to the guy who has taken my daughter under his wing as her stepfather, who tells me that I'm beautiful every day even when I feel far from it, and who courageously tells me when my WIP drawings suck and still need work. If you are dealing with a heartbreak, know that there is hope after the hurt. I've been there too, and Good Things are always worth the wait. 🌄 #encouragement #wip #lookforthegood
Gnome gear for the art room. Thank you for the sweet gift, @wholuvsowls. I love it so much. 🍄😊💕 Thankful for your friendship.

Some people either ask me why I believe what I do or make a dismissive comment that it's all "cheap grace." A life changed is the only short answer I can give. And there is nothing cheap about it.
