Jennifer Frith, Artist & Illustrator

I believe that you matter.

. . .

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, resilient creatives to make art for themselves and the world too.

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

Can you guess which one my husband drew? 🐝 . I read a disheartening statistic today where only 17% of marriages are considered "happy". Add that on top of the statistic that 50% of marriages end up in divorce, and it's all just so sad. . I've been married once before. I've been unhappy. I've had a lot of other heartbreaks in my life too. . But what I'm finding to be true about "happiness" (which is so fleeting) is this: 1st) lasting joy comes from my relationship with God 2) hardships either make you bitter or they make you better and 3rd) appreciation for the good stuff in my life is a constant decision. . Oftentimes Jason's antics make me laugh and roll my eyes; and sometimes we have our bigger challenges... but my goodness, do I love him. . I believe our "happy 2nd marriage" comes down to us both owning our individual happiness, never assigning that responsibility to another person or circumstance. . So, I'm thankful for 2nd chances, Jason's dumb bee drawings, and the thousand other things that remind me that my happiness is entirely up to *me*, and no one else. 🐝 . What reminds you to be happy? ❤
Happy #nationalsiblingsday day, to the coolest brother and sister I could ever have. love you, @stephsilverstein and @jwar2428 ! Grateful to be your big sis. 🎨

And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love." - Robert Fulghum . thankful for you all who not only tolerate my weirdness but celebrate it (including my daughter 😘). Who's in your weird corner?
