Jenn Joslin is a naturalist and illustrator who uses her background in the fields of conservation biology & visual art to reflect on contemporary ecologic issues. Through dynamic and emotive designs, Jenn focuses our attention to the interconnectedness and resilience of life on earth, carefully honoring these creatures’ ever-shifting stories with skill, reverence, and awe.
“While we are living through an era marked by human-driven resource exploitation and mass extinction, I believe there is still endless opportunity to discover, respect, and protect what’s left of the wild. My work is a heartfelt call to learn to live in reciprocity with the natural world.”
Jenn grew up in the heart of California’s drought-ridden Central Valley. In her 20’s she packed up and headed north to Portland, Oregon, seeking the lush wild spaces she had only read about in books. Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, Jenn graduated with a bachelor of science degree in Conservation Biology and has been working as a natural science illustrator and environmental educator with local non-profits.
Between 2018 and 2022 Jenn took 345 hikes with her 15 year old pup Charlie all around the west coast, where she found comfort in the challenge, solace, and freedom walking a trail can bring.
