About Artist Jill Friedberg

For nearly four decades following her education at Northwestern University and The School of the Art Institute Of Chicago, Jill Friedberg has established herself as a nationally recognized visual artist whose works have been exhibited extensively in museums, galleries and universities throughout the United States. A recent piece was accepted into The Archives of American Art of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D. C. Her work was selected for the Arizona Biennial 2018 and 2020 at The Tucson Museum of Art.

In earlier years she was selected to be a member of ARC, an artist cooperative in Chicago which was founded during the women’s movement as an alternative to the mainstream galleries. It is one of the oldest co-ops of its kind in the country.

As a lover of foreign cultures, she has journeyed throughout the world to photographically capture native memories with the intent of manipulating and integrating these images with paint and repurposed materials to create compelling narratives relating to global concerns.
