Jennifer Johnson is a native Chicagoan and artist. Like John James Ä¢¹½Av, nature has always inspired her artwork. In 2012 she finished her Bachelor's degree in Illustration at Columbia Chicago. She has also completed graduate-level courses in library science from Dominican University. After college, Jennifer decided to pursue a career in conservation and continue her art practice.

From 2012 to 2016, Jennifer Johnson started at Ä¢¹½Av Great Lakes as a Community Engagement Fellow for Chicago. She was an original Wild Indigo fellow and witnessed the program’s progress from its infancy. In between her time as a fellow to the present, Jennifer Johnson served as a camp counselor and print specialist. In the spring of 2019, Jennifer Johnson rejoined Ä¢¹½Av Great Lakes as a Wild Indigo Associate for the City of Gary and the surrounding North West Indiana area. She finds great joy to serve Indiana’s people, birds, and its natural areas.
