Exploring Jen Holcombe's World of Art

---

Hello I’m Jen! I’m an illustrator and artist living in Buckinghamshire. I’m married with two fabulous children and a very hairy dog. I completed a BAHons  in Fine Art over 15 years ago but my passion has always been in illustration for children. During the covid pandemic and various lockdowns, I discovered how to draw digitally (thanks to my lovely Dad buying me an Apple Pencil), and then I was off like a rocket drawing all the time!

I love drawing and creating friendly characters with a hint of silliness and fun thrown in the mix. Laughter is great medicine! I’m passionate about kindness and try to let that shine through in my work whenever I can. I love reading, especially reading to my children (and anyone else who will listen), and I think all children should be able to have access to books (especially where they can see themselves represented).

I work part time for a Church and charity,  heading up their children’s work as well as being their administrator.  You’ll most likely find me covered in glitter/ craft materials or drawing in a corner with my doggies squished up next to me.
