About Jennifer


As part of her work as a book artist, Jennifer Khoshbin hand carves vintage children’s books in concentric circles in order to frame specific words or phrases that hold meaning to her. Her work is designed to cause the observer to think about the book’s meaning from a different vantage point. Old books don’t hold much sway over many children nowadays, so Khoshbin rescues these forgotten tales and gives them new lives as permanent pieces of sculpture.

"Jennifer, I saw the beautiful bears you made for Bareburger. We've got a pub in our called the Bear & Rabbit. Would love to see if we could have you make a bear for our pub. My husband's a Brit. I was thinking of the bear with the Union Jack. Let me know if that's possible."

"A comment on a comment (Julie 04/14). Don't you see the books have become art, and have become once more appreciated for that reason? Please don't take offense. Just my thoughts."

"great work, i feel your drawing series is much stronger, creative and has more to tell, kept me far more interested.

"nice work."
