Hi, I’m Jenna Kurecki, an artist and illustrator based in Chicago, IL. In 2021, I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with an Illustration BFA and art history minor.

about the art

Working with traditional media, I specialize in nature illustrations. I create to communicate information and prompt active seeing rather than passive looking, so my process centers around understanding the world and appreciating its beauty. I believe that acknowledging the environment around us is the first step in positively changing our impact on it.
