The Imaginative Illustrations of Alison Jeffs

Alison is a children’s illustrator who loves escaping real life into the worlds of her fantastic imaginations. Worlds consisting of unique, fun characters and animals who show great personality. Generally working with oils and gouache, she loves to create lively, bright brilliant colors and orchestrate them into her pieces. Alison also enjoys on occasion a more realistic style of children’s illustration. From more realistic narrative scenes to portraiture.

In April of 2004, Alison graduated in Illustration from BYU. During the summer of 2004 she served as in intern in New York City with artists Liz Lomax and Roberto Parada. Alison has done freelance work for a wide variety of different clients. Some of her commissioned works include document illuminations for Govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger, painted masks for "One of a Kind" in Ghirardeli Square, dinosaur illustrations for Solaris Views, a 2003 calendar entitled "Chewing the Cud," a children’s book entitled "Why Do They Call Me Little Echohawk," written by Terry Echohawk, advertisements for the LDS church, and spot illustrations and design work for the Crowden Music Center. She has also done some volunteer work, including an editorial piece for the "Pressing Times" put out by Bay Area Alternative Press.

Art is what she loves and lives for.
