About the Artist:

Jill Nahrstedt (b.1977 in Omaha, Nebraska) is an artist and curator living and working in Chicago.

Nahrstedt’s artistic practice encompasses various media, including painting, printmaking, installation, and curation. Her paintings and prints knit together memories of time and place using electric hues not often found in nature. ​

Layers of figures and drips, cacti and pools, architecture and peonies build up to replicate the depth of experience Nahrstedt draws from to create. A trajectory that passed through blue-collar grit and the gray areas of loss spit her out on the other side to joy. Inspired by the ecstatic pleasure found in the most simple, she is propelled forward by the lush layers one can build over time and the desire to share them. Nahrstedt loves a visual journey and wants nothing more than for you to join her.
