While growing up, Jennifer always loved to draw fairies, mystical women, unicorns, dragons, and fantasy creatures. She would spend hours in New Age shops, browsing the beautiful cards and figurines, finding inspiration through those enchanting images. After college, Jen started to think about her professional art career. The path to finding her artistic niche was long, hard, and often misguided, but the culmination of her journey is Magickal Art. Her artistic goal is to conjure feelings of peace, joy, hope, and mystery--of something larger than this world, that many fantasy artists evoked in Jennifer while growing up, and continue to do today.
Jennifer lives in New England with her husband, Richard, and four year old daughter, Samantha. They have a crazy, but lovable Golden Retriever named Buddy, and a VERY tolerant Himilayan cat named Shmoops. In addition to Magickal Art, Jen is a freelance graphic and web designer, illustrator, and part-time yoga/pilates instructor.

My name is Marjolein Gulinski and born in 1982 in Holland! I have always loved drawing from a very young age and my family and friends have always told me that I should become an artist, so I decided to make it my career and have been professionally drawing since I was 17 years! I have always been interested in the artworks of Amy Brown, Jessica Galbreth, Anton Pieck, Alan Lee, Stephanie Pui Mun Law, Brian Froud and many more. I have always loved Disney animation and have been influenced by this style also. Maybe you can see this in my work? I am now also becoming more and more influenced by the artwork from Lord of the Rings. I am quite a perfectionist and when I paint I make sure that every smallest detail is perfect, if something seems wrong, even if it is just something so small that no-one else notices, I start again from scratch. I love drawing fantasy art because I feel that the idea is so happy and uplifting that it can bring light into anyone's world.
And every time I create a new piece of artwork, I am able to put a piece of myself into the art, making it my own style! People often tell me that they can see me in my works.
