FoxFern Studios - W.O.S.B.
Jennifern Hippely Artist and Creative Type Jennifern is an autodidactic artist living in Warwick, NY with her young son, USPS Carrier partner and a menagerie of beloved pets. A long career in Business Development, she now focuses on design and illustration for FoxFern. _____________________________________________________________________ "When I realized how much commercial paper waste was being generated, and how business decisions were based on price more than cost to people, I wanted to build a small business that could do better. Now, we are in charge of where materials come from, if they are ethically sourced, made or printed domestically, support a local work force, and have minimal impact on the environment." - Fern A FUTURE GOAL: The long term goal for FoxFern is to offer paid working opportunities for new and second career artists and build a support community for creatives. We hope to someday provide affordable work space for fellow makers with free forums to discuss sound business practices. |
A FOXFERN STUDIOS history and the meaning of the FoxFern Logo:
FoxFern Studios was born in 2000 with a few whimsical designs, the FoxFern Circle logo and a stamp that Jennifern handcrafted in foam. Jennifern created the FoxFern circle as a symbol of the important balance of intellect and growth. Ferns are fractals; one, within one, within one, forever; a symbol how infinite the mysteries of life are. The fox, is clever and always curious about his surroundings; never afraid to "Dive face first, into the unknown." Fern started having local printers in Mentor, Ohio print cards with her artwork and those designs were embraced immediately by other free spirits who appreciate beautiful paper and unique art. In 2004 we officially registered "FoxFern Studios" and bought our web domain, it was a big step in a dream that took years to bring to life. Located in Cleveland at the time, new designs sprung to life as shops in Cleveland, Detroit and Erie, PA offered our greeting cards. Jen's Dad was her best sales person. 2012 - 2013 brought our first Postal design. Dav Walker asked Jen to design Holiday cards for his Mail customers but we didn't expect so may of his coworkers to want them too! Mail Carrier designs became an annual tradition. Jennifern has been drawing since childhood and continues to do so with reckless abandon. |
