About
Welcome to the whimsical world of Jessie Fox, the Portland based artist behind Whatif Creations. Since founding Whatif Creations in 2013, Jessie has been captivating audiences with her "Whatifs" - imaginary creatures that merge two unlikely animals into one delightful being.
Each creation starts as a detailed ballpoint pen illustration, infused with personality and clever wordplay, resulting in unique designs that spark both curiosity and laughter.
Jessie's journey began during her time as a counselor for troubled teens where she used art to build connections with her clients. The playful "Whatif" sketches became a way to invite others into a space where the rules of nature no longer apply.
As the sketches piled up, she realized these strange, funny creatures had something special about them. They made people smile and reminded everyone to stay curious and light-hearted.
Jessie's products are featured in galleries and gift shops across the country. She has been a beloved fixture at the Portland Saturday Market for over a decade.
The market serves as her home base, offering the opportunity to connect directly with customers and see the smiles her "Whatifs" bring. With a deep love for animals and a commitment to fun, Jessie continues to create whimsical hybrid creatures that delight art lovers of all ages.
