Jean Tuttle was raised outside of Chicago, by an artist mother and an art-loving father, both of whom nurtured her love of drawing from an early age. She began her freelance career in Manhattan, where she based her studio for a number of years after receiving her BFA in Illustration from Parsons School of Design. Jean first became known for her highly-designed artwork and unique palette, created using line art and overlays, before switching over to the computer, her medium of choice for the last twenty years.
