Portrait of children’s book illustrator Jensen Collins

Hi, I’m Jensen.

A dash of Kentucky, a splash of Montana and a whole box of crayons! My illustrations feature bright colors and bold line work to captivate young readers. I enjoy bringing whimsical characters to life to bring out the giggles!

I get to live my most wonderful life in Montana with my husband, son, and a few too many animals.

I truly hope that I never run out of great stories to read!
