Jennifer Scott

Jennifer Scott - Bio

Jennifer Scott is a Philadelphia-born visual storyteller whose bold pen-and-ink work moves effortlessly between intimate sketchbook drawings and large-scale, museum-quality paintings. A Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts graduate, Scott first won local fame with her hand-drawn neighborhood projects — including the best-selling Dogs of Fishtown coloring book series — and quickly expanded into large narrative paintings, commissions, and limited-edition prints.

Her live-drawing performances at weddings, corporate events and VIP receptions have become a signature offering, pairing on-site portraiture with gallery-ready pieces. Scott’s paintings command collector attention — selling in the $7,000–$40,000 range — and have been featured in major local and national outlets, including PhillyVoice and Philadelphia Magazine.

Now launching Hypergraphia by Jennifer Scott, a high-end athleisure and sleepwear line that translates Scott’s iconic linework and mythic motifs into elevated, wearable pieces — performance fabrics, limited-run prints, and hand-finished details for a design-minded clientele. Hypergraphia bridges studio art and everyday luxury: each piece is a wearable sketch, designed to move from studio to street to starlit rest. Collectors, event producers, and brand partners work with Scott for bespoke live art activations and capsule collaborations. For commissions, prints, and Hypergraphia pre-orders, contact hello@hypergraphia.art.
