Hello, I’m Jessie. I am an American illustrator and food stylist, based in Paris.
thefrancofly follows my footsteps from Chicago to Parigote. Although my musings meander, I continue to diversify my observations with original illustrations, recipes, photos, and honest insights into this place called France.

Hi Jessie! I talked with your parents last evening and found out about your blog! Congratulations on your marriage, too! I was inspired about your ratatouille piece, and I’m making it tonight for dinner: ratatouille with saffron rice. Best wishes!

Hi…just found your blog and am so excited! I am a Texas girl who loves EVERYTHING about Paris. Your stories are fun and your illustrations are amazing. Do you sell prints of your illustrations? Hope you do.
Hi Mendy,
Thanks so much for reading! Happy to have a fan in Texas. Yes, I sell my illustrations. Send me an email at thefrancofly@gmail.com and let me know which one you are interested in. And we will take it from there. j

Hello Nina,
Thanks for stopping by! Since I’m a crummy photographer, I fell into illustration just by creating original images for my blog. Check out my professional site jessiekanelosweiner.com, too.
Best,
Jessie
