Jo Renfro is a freelance writer and illustrator with a passion for mixing color, pattern, and whimsy in her somewhat quirky, often amusing, and always upbeat work. She enjoys using her sense of humor developed from raising three kids, several dogs, numerous cats, and a potbellied pig named Matilda to create pieces that are lightheartedly inspirational. Her love of the outdoors, animals, and her amazing kids is often reflected in her work. A lifelong Kansan, she recently moved to Colorado to be close to the mountains, which still take her breath away every single day.
