MEET THE ILLUSTRATOR
Jessica Secheret
Jessica Secheret began drawing and painting
at a very young age. “I had strange buddies
that were always with me—felt pens, colored
pencils, brushes, and paint,”the artist says.
Today she lives and works at her studio in Paris,
France. She says that drawing for magazines and
books allows her to do what she loves: put her
imagination on paper.
