About
Jennifer Bruce is a Michigan-based illustrator who mixes traditional media with digital, combining figures with graphics, texture, and pattern.
She graduated from the College for Creative Studies in downtown Detroit with a Bachelor’s in Illustration (and a minor in Concept Art), with honors and currently resides near Detroit with her husband Steven and their pets Misa (adorable cat) and Suki (tiny cat-shaped gremlin). (And previously Benji (murderous rabbit, “Bun” to his friends/enemies”, now in bunny heaven.)
When she’s not bringing ideas, feelings, and characters to life for her clients or for herself, she enjoys bingeing sci-fi movies, ballroom dancing or working out with her husband, and trying to keep a multitude of houseplants alive (at a roughly 50% kill rate).
Favorite Books: The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner, The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, The EarthSea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin, The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow, and almost anything by Robin McKinley.
