Megan Jeffery’s Experience

  • Owner

    MEG Illustrations (Sole Proprietorship)

    (Sole Proprietorship; Myself Only; Arts and Crafts industry)

    August 1989Present (20 years)

    I chose the category 'Arts & Crafts' as my 'Industry' because that best describes the two aspects of my work.

    I started my freelance illustration business (that's the 'Arts' portion) in 1989, specializing in publications for kids-- for their education and entertainment. I illustrate for grownups, too, when a whimsical piece of art is needed to perk up a page!

    My illustrations run the gamut from traditionally-created to digitally-created, with stops in-between.

    I've also begun a second business, with different product lines made with fiber/fabric (that's the 'Crafts' portion). Currently, I am designing & creating pillows, tea & egg cozies, and finger puppets, and have been exhibiting @ craft shows, as well as selling items via online and "brick & mortar" shops.

    * NEW * : I am now licensing artwork from both my Arts & my Crafts portfolios.

    Portfolios available upon request to manufacturers.
