Autorenporträt

Jennifer Goodenberger conceived the idea of writing a children's book in the mid-1990s, inspired by the amusing concept of dinosaurs playing musical instruments-especially a T. rex struggling to play the piano with its tiny arms. Over the years, she discussed the idea with her nieces and nephews, brainstorming ways to bring it to life. However, lacking the artistic skills to illustrate it herself, she put the project on hold. In 2025, she connected with a group of artists incorporating AI into their work and realized that she could use this technology to finally create her book about musical dinosaurs. Jennifer is an accomplished visual artist, having shown in numerous West Coast galleries. Inner and outer journeys to landscapes of the mind and spirit are her continual inspirations. Her influences include medieval illuminated manuscripts, crop circles, archetypal symbols, sacred geometry, and designs from ancient and world cultures. Jennifer also has a "day job." She is a concert pianist, composer, and recording artist, with 9 recordings of solo piano music.
