Chippewas of Rama First Nation, Ontario

Jennifer Faria is a Canadian painter and illustrator. She began drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil and loved it, drawing her cat, her Barbies, and anything and everything in between. Her mother was highly skilled in calligraphy and trained her to print with excellence which helped inspire her to pursue excellence in all areas of traditional artwork.

She eventually ended up taking her skills to the fine arts program at Toronto's Central Technical School, and later at George Brown College, to study Graphic Design and Advertising.

Jennifer has participated in many solo and group exhibitions in Toronto and has been commissioned to produce a wide range of custom portraits and artwork. In 2020 she illustrated her first Children's picture book, Raven, Rabbit, Deer, written by Governor General’s Award-nominated author Sue Farrell Holler, and published by Pajama Press. Finding Moose, the sequel to Raven, Rabbit, Deer was released in 2022.
