My Journey: From Vision to Reality
Traditional Beginnings
At 4, I hid under the covers with a flashlight, mesmerized by illustrated stories. That spark never left—and years later, I brought it to life creating books for my family.
Recognition & Challenges
Awards came, but so did frustration. The old process was slow and limiting, and authors deserved better. I set out to create a solution—fast, accessible, and uncompromising in quality.
The AI Discovery
My first AI image was a revelation. That spark led to a children’s book honored by USA Today as “an achievement that couldn’t have happened a year earlier.”
Birth of Story Quest
Story Quest began with a simple goal: to give every author the power to create stunning visuals without barriers. With AI, that vision is now reality—fast, easy, and filled with artistic depth.
Accolade-Winning Artwork. Memorable Narratives
Every cover tells a story. I help authors turn moments into eye-catching visuals that capture attention and win hearts. Here's what that looks like.

From Stuck to Published—The Help I Wish I Had
I thought writing my book was the hard part—then came visuals, tech, and publishing. I developed a program to help authors bring their stories to life easily and shortcut the process.
"I’ve sung well deserved praises to Jo Ann many times. She has guided me as a book coach and has supported my work with her talents as an illustrator. Children’s books come to life through illustrations. Jo Ann has breathed life into each of my books"
