Jennylynd James is a “Renaissance” woman: an artist, writer, and Classical music singer with a long work history as a food scientist! Jennylynd earned a Ph.D. in Food Science at McGill University, and worked for food companies in the United States, Ireland, Canada, and the Caribbean. Her series of travel memoirs recount her many adventures in relocation. Jennylynd James discovered a hidden talent for drawing and painting while working as an entrepreneur in the Republic of Ireland. Her artsy flair in running a food business took an interesting turn when in an amateur art class the instructor found Jennylynd excelled in portraiture and sketching. She uses the vivid colours of her heritage to influence her work. Her artwork is held in collections in Mexico, Canada, the United States, the Caribbean and the UK.
