Where would artists be without inspiration? Whether it’s a spring flower, a sunny day, or a cat napping near a window, artists draw inspiration every day from their experiences and the things they see.
If you’re really lucky, like our own Jennifer Orkin Lewis, you can draw inspiration from an amazing trip to India! The sights she is seeing are awe-inspiring and we’re sure that they will inspire Jennifer to create some wonderful new images of her own. Just take a look at the some the amazing photographs from her journey. Enjoy! – (the other) Jennifer

I am so happy to share Jennifer's interview with the multi-talented and infinitely fascinating, Monica Lee this week on her podcast, Smart Creative Women.
Jennifer Orkin Lewis (aka August Wren) at work in her studio.
Here is how Monica sums up the interview:
"Jennifer is a hot new artist that has been around for some time. After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design as a textile stylist designing prints for children’s clothing and lingerie, she raised her family, designed textiles and worked away. Fast forward several years she started a daily sketch book project that reignited her career in a huge way! I love her story and how she is such a hot ticket after working as an artist for the last 20 years (that’s pretty much the best kind of story). Tune in and listen to her journey, it’s a refreshing one! Her work is inspired by the everyday small things, a bird in a tree, a garden, crowds of people, a beautiful table with luscious food and her clients (like Kate Spade home and Abrams Books!) are eating up her style, her voice and her point of view. Can’t wait to see what she does next!"
I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. You can find August Wren at her widely-followed Instagram, 30 minute painting a day. Enjoy! - (the other) Jennifer
It was so much fun to read about the book I illustrated last summer on HuffPost today. Audrey Shulman @sittinginbarswithcake writes about her adventures of a year of baking cakes and bringing them to bars to get a boyfriend. Her writing is much better than mine so read it here, It's fun. Its way cooler than just a regular cookbook as some friends have mentioned! I can show the final cover and it's on Amazon for preorder, due out April 7th. I can't wait to show the 75 other interior illustrations! It's super colorful, pretty and cool. Enjoy! - Jennifer
