Jennifer Maestre (born 1959 in Johannesburg, South Africa)[1] is a Massachusetts-based artist, internationally known for her unique pencil sculptures.[2][3][4][5][6]
She is a graduate of Wellesley College and holds a BFA degree from the Massachusetts College of Art.
She derives most of her inspiration from the form and texture of the sea urchin. To make the pencil sculptures, Jennifer makes use of a variety pencils, nails and stitching. She takes hundreds of pencils, cuts them into small 1-inch sections, drills a hole in each section, sharpens them all and sews them together.[7]
