Jans, Jessie: - Belgian illustrator, graphic designer, and creative jack-of-all-trades Jessie Jans is quite an accomplished person. She has a master's degree in graphic design, and she worked with her husband and son to transform a crumbling mansion in the center of Belgium's oldest city into a cozy green oasis. She also loves to lose herself in stories. However, she occasionally puts these stories down to go on playful adventures with her family, enjoy nature, and illustrate. Jessie hopes to delight children (and adults) with her detailed and tender depictions of animals and nature.
