About

Hello! My name is Jaya Jerome

I’m an Illustrator born and raised in Brooklyn New York. I’m a mostly self-taught artist, creating art has always been my greatest passion, and I’m dedicated to refining my skills and exploring new creative opportunities. I bring a mix of education, experience, and enthusiasm to every project I take on.

My professional background includes teaching art, designing posters, children illustration, editorial illustration, as well as stage design, all of which have strengthened
my creativity, collaboration, and time management skills. I’m looking forward to contributing to new projects.
