Jime A Wimmer

Jime Wimmer brings stories of kindness to life through illustration, writing, and design. A storyteller at heart, she creates nostalgic art and children’s books that inspire heartfelt moments between generations, sparking connection, wonder, and a sense of adventure through the magic of storytelling. Her emotive, hand-drawn illustrations are rich with warmth and intention, inviting readers into worlds filled with love, imagination, and discovery.

"I’ve always been captivated by the fluid, organic movement of lines across paper," Jime says. "As a daydreamer and doodler, I find inspiration in their expressive nature—whether curious, scratchy, implied, delicate, or simply beautiful. I am also heavily inspired by nature. Growing up in rural Northeast Pennsylvania, I often found adventures outdoors in the fresh air. My goal is to create imaginary worlds that invite creative souls to wander and explore."

Jime earned her MFA in Illustration from the University of Hartford and has gone on to write, illustrate, and art direct multiple children’s books. Her work is newly being recognized, receiving the 2025 Tomie dePaola Mentorship Portfolio Award from SCBWI, multiple gold medals from the Society of Illustrators Los Angeles, along with the American Illustration 43 Chosen Award, and was named a former finalist for the Martha’s Vineyard Drawing Prize.
