Born in a sleepy little town in the hills of Pennsylvania, Jill
Howarth always knew she wanted to be an artist. Upon graduating
from Penn State University with a degree in graphic design, she
entered the corporate design world. As a senior designer and then
art director at Hasbro Toys, she occasionally embellished
collateral and product packaging with fun little drawings. More
requests for these illustrations came her way and before she knew
it, she was doing more drawing and less layout design. After
leaving corporate life to start a family, she began freelancing.
She lives just west of Boston, with her husband, three teenagers
and a crazy, lazy dog.
