Jeffrey Ebbeler has been creating art for children for almost a decade.          

He loves the creative potential of storybook art. He has given many lectures and demonstrations in grade-schools, colleges, and museums about the process of  bringing words to life through pictures. He has worked on a variety of projects including illustrations for magazines, CD covers, and book covers as well as paper engineering for pop-up books, creating large scale murals for schools and churches, and sculpting puppets and preforming for several marionette theaters.

    He and his wife Eileen both attended the Art Academy of Cincinnati. They currently live in Chicago. Jeffrey signed with artist agent

Portfolio Solutions llc. This has been a successful partnership and has allowed Jeffrey to leave his long held position as an art director for the children's book department at Publication's International ltd. to work as a freelance illustrator full time.

    When he's not busy painting, Jeffrey is the drummer for several Chicago bands.
