"My love for greeting cards started very young, and my obsession with drawing started even earlier.  My dad made home videos of me sitting in our front yard, with a little art gallery taped to tree branches,  selling drawings of cats and unicorns for 10 cents each.  He would charge me rent for the picnic table, to teach me about the costs of business.  

By the time I was a teenager, I was selling drawings and making cards to send to my large family.  My mom was a huge inspiration as an excellent fine artist, but she also single-handedly remodeled houses and showed me that we never give up when it gets tough.

I have loved learning business through working since I was able to get a High School Work Permit, and often held several jobs at a time.  Even with long work weeks, I made time to create art for my own cards.  I knew had a dream and a far-fetched plan, but never thought I could make it work as a job.  

I DID make it work.  

It has worked because my partner and I are committed to doing it and doing it right.  We believe in building relationships with our customers, providing good service, making a card you can't find anywhere else and doing it all with minimal impact to the environment.  

I am still appreciative and so honored when someone likes my cards.  Both my parents are gone now, and every time someone says "This is beautiful." I feel like I'm sending that compliment off to my folks."

​A FOXFERN STORY:

FoxFern Studios was born in 2000 with a few whimsical designs, the FoxFern circle logo you see today, and a stamp that Jennifern hand cut from foam rubber.    The speckled version of that logo on the back of our greeting cards is a print from the very stamp she carved so long ago. 

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, OH at the time, new designs sprung to life as shops in Northeast Ohio, Detroit, MI and Erie, PA offered our greeting cards.   Jen's Dad was her best sales person; stopping at every small gift shop he saw to drop off some of his daughter's cards

2012  brought our first Postal design.  City Carrier Dav Walker asked Jen to design Holiday cards for his customers, but they never expected so may of his coworkers would want them too!  From there, Mail Carrier designs became an annual and deeply enjoyed tradition.

Jennifern has been drawing since childhood and continues to do so with reckless abandon.
