Jeannine Spooner Kitzhaber is an artist based in the Twin Cities. She earned a BFA and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of MN-Twin Cities. Over her extensive 25-year career as a college art instructor she traveled multiple and sometimes long distances for work. Her experiences viewing landscapes through her car window or via GPS maps sparked a curiosity in how we encounter, decipher, and move through spaces, influencing her to document these observations in her artwork. “We have all experienced landscapes in a digital way,” explains Kitzhaber. “Technology reshapes how we connect with these places.”
Her thematic exploration has earned her numerous accolades, exhibitions, and grants, including recognition from the MN State Arts Board. Her artwork is widely exhibited across the United States and in Canada and is held in collections ranging from private homes to corporate settings and prominent Twin Cities design firms like Martha Dayton Design and Metropolis Design Group. She maintains a studio in the historic Northrup King Building in Minneapolis, where she displays her work. She is former member of Strata Gallery Santa Fe, New Mexico.
