IJ L Hoover have been drawing since she was a young child. Having a artistic family and a true love for animals it just seem to fall in to place for Kritters-n-Pencil. She was very luck to have two very wonderful art teachers in high school. Mrs. Carrol and Mrs. Hemerike who had faith in me and taught me the skill that I needed to be a artist. Without their help she would not be where a she is today. JJennifer would like to thank them and all the teachers out there for all their hard work.

Over the years Jennifer has done water colors, oil paintings, pen and ink drawings, pastels,  colored pencils, and painted ware able art on tee shirrs and sweet shirts.  She even branched out by doing cakes for a while. (Wedding, Groom, Baby Shower, Specialty, and Birthday). With all Jennifer has done and been exposed to she feels that Ishe can be call a artist in the true since. But drawing with pencil has always been her first love in art..

With having grown up with cats, dogs, many hamsters, gerbils, even a ginnie pig , and as an adult she raising and showing horses for almost 20 years. Since getting married and having two wonderful kids. We have been breeding and showing Border Collies past 13 years . 11 years ago the family added rabbits and have up to 7 different breeds. Also included on the farm they have 7 cats, and 22 + chickens.

With all these different type of animals that she has been exposed to over life time she feels that she has a good understanding on how these and other animals should look and feel. Which with  all this her be able  to transfer what she sees on to paper with a unique style. Jennifer hopes you will conceder to let her do a pencil drawing of your four footed family member.
