JENNIFER ORKIN LEWIS [1981, Textiles]
Based in Irvington, NY
A deep love of color, pattern, and nature is the foundation of Jennifer’s work as an artist, illustrator, author, and teacher. Her joyful gouache paintings of flowers, random objects, people, and occasional meditative abstract musings open a colorful and enticing window onto a detail of the day one might ordinarily overlook.
Jennifer’s work has been featured on many products and brands worldwide, including Anthropologie, Abrams Books, Chronicle Books, Eeboo, Kate Spade Home, Tocca, Seattle Chocolate Company, Roger LaBorde as well as many others. Her books include two inspirational sketchbook journals published by Abrams that encourage and inspire people to develop their own daily drawing practice.
Jennifer studied at Rhode Island School of Design and spent the first half of her career as a textile designer and stylist in NYC.
