Illustration has the power to bring words to life in a unique way, and to excite the viewer visually in any number of ways. I am, more and more, learning to follow my passion in creating art.

Illustration/Portfolio

My illustrations – for children’s books, black and white art, and color art – can be found in my Portfolio. These sections are all works in progress, and will grow as I do new pieces.

I offer illustration services on an individualized basis, depending on the project. Specialty projects in the past have included spot book illustration, cover illustration, product label design, pen and ink drawings of homes, etc.  If you have something in mind, please feel free to contact me.

 

JBalsamArt on Etsy

I am pleased to announce that my Etsy shop now reflects a broader and more exciting selection of art. You will find art prints, such as the carousel horse pictured here (also available as a blank note card), autographed copies of my picture book, original art and prints. I am adding new art daily, so please visit my Etsy shop.

If you’d like to be updated when I add new items to my Etsy shop or on the occasional sale, feel free to join my mailing list. Please know that I don’t send email for any reason other than this, and you will not be spammed.
