Hello! My name is Jime Wimmer!
A little bit about me: I hold an MFA in Illustration from Hartford University and a BS in Art Education. I've been a part of SCBWI since 2005, starting in Pennsylvania, moving to Oklahoma, and now here in Georgia! I’m also the co-owner of WimmerStudios.com with my husband, illustrator Mike Wimmer.
My personal work is inspired by vintage illustrations with a strong emphasis on "line" and traditional drawing, which I often combine with digital coloring. I've been a full-time educator for 19 years, and my sons, Holden and Brodie, are grown and out on their own. Alongside teaching, I pursue self-publishing and recently published Dear Darwin via crowd-funding. I am currently a Professor in Savannah, GA, where I often instruct Drawing courses in Storyboard, Inventing Environments, Imaginative Characters, and more. I live here in Savannah with my husband and one super adorable cat, Mina, but we escape to the Blue Ridge Mountains every chance we get to avoid the heat!
You can find me online above at WimmerStudios.com and on social media: @wimmerswoods and @myprettylines, on facebook, and on linkedin

Jime's recent self-published book via Kickstarter!
My Inspiration Board
I have a range of childhood favorite artists--from historically famous ones like Mucha, Rackham, Beatrix Potter and Waterhouse to lesser known ones like Olive Bailey, Evelyn Kelbish, Karen Milone...Illustrated books are a critical part of childhood and development, even more so for creative artistic children....
