JBalsamFrenchieArt

I've been drawing since I could first hold a crayon, and never stopped. I am currently a graphic designer, writer, and artist. I was given the opportunity to have my artwork featured quarterly in Just Frenchies magazine, and it inspired me to grow a small business featuring the French Bulldog. In early 2018, I moved my wares to Etsy, and I am very excited about growing my business and sharing new, fun, Frenchie stuff here with you!
The artwork that you see currently featured is created almost exclusively in colored pencil, although on occasion, I may use watercolor as a base and build upon it with colored pencil.
I bring a deep love of all animals to my work. I am additionally inspired by my 30+ years in the humane field where I have used my writing, graphic design, and fundraising skills to help dogs, cats, and other pets as well as rescued exotics, wildlife, and farm animals residing in a sanctuary. I also work with an equine rescue. For 15 years, I operated my own bully breed rescue and was the devoted pet parent of bullies for 20 years. All have humbled and inspired me.
