Jenny Belin is a Brooklyn-based painter who has worked as a professional artist and illustrator since 1993. Her works vary in subject: women, flowers, and pin-ups create a thematic intersection of feminism, power, and beauty.
Jenny began her career as a fashion illustrator with drawings published in magazines and newspapers, including the New Yorker, Glamour, Mirabella, and the NY Daily News.
She is currently writing and illustrating “Sonnets for Sweet Potatoes”: A Cat#s Guide to NYC, a wry-humored book about the felines who reside in New York. Each character study provides a glimpse into a New York Cat#s headspace, longings, psychology, and philosophical musings. A Cats of LA sequel is on her to-do list.
Jenny is also writing “Letters to Dead Feminists,” a collection of epistolary prose in which she asks her greatest muses to counsel her and share perspectives on art, cats, feminism, fashion, and identity.
Jenny has exhibited paintings in NYC, LA, the UK, and Japan. Her most recent exhibition was titled “Cats and Coconuts for the People.”
