Jennifer Cronin
Jennifer Cronin is a Chicago-based visual artist known for her uncanny realistic paintings that explore the mystery and complexity of everyday life.  Cronin’s work has evolved many times over, delving into psychology, income inequality, and climate change.  Her most recent work celebrates the mundane, infusing quotidian scenes with a sense of magic and mystery.  While Cronin has spent over a decade absorbed in the craft of oil painting, in recent years she has branched out, exploring new subjects and approaches.  She has oscillated from stark to light-hearted subjects, and delved into screen printing, mural painting, digital illustration, and animation.  With each new approach, Cronin continues to find ways to explore our innate emotional connection to one another, tapping into our shared sense of joy, fear, love, and hope.  
​

Jennifer’s work has been featured on NPR, Newcity, and Sixty Inches from Center.  Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Elmhurst Art Museum, Museo Internazionale Italia Arte, and the Grand Rapids Public Museum as well as galleries at Google and Argonne National Laboratory.  Jennifer received her BFA in painting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
