Artist Bio
Jennifer Cox is a writer and artist living in Portland, Oregon. In 2011, she graduated from The Oregon College of Art and Craft with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting and drawing.
In a past life, she worked as an actress and a newspaper reporter before making the move into fiction. Her poetry and short stories have appeared in various national magazines, and her artwork has been featured in shows around the Oregon and Southern Washington areas as well as in the children's book Haunted Spirits, published in 2018, and Parchburg Tears, published in 2019.
She lives with and takes inspiration from her quirky son, her partner, who resembles a crow, and one vicious, ginger cat. All of them give her conflicting and strange ideas for projects, which she is currently in the process of sorting out.
