About Jen DiArenzo No matter the medium, I tend to draw inspiration for my art from my love of wildlife and the natural world. While I mostly focus on wood burning these days, I still enjoy creating with pastels, paints, and pencils, and have even begun taking on digital character art commissions for authors. I am a summa cum laude graduate of RIT in New York with a major in Illustration and a minor in Creative Writing, and I’ve had the privilege of working with customers and businesses all across the world including XFinity Mobile, Ventana Surfboards and the Western Flyer Foundation. My work has even been gifted to Mumford and Sons and Brandi Carlile. When I’m not creating, teaching the occasional pyrography master class, or writing, I’m busy being a wife and mom to two kids and a senior chocolate lab at our home outside of Philadelphia.
