Jana Johnson Schnoor is a Swedish-American artist. She grew up in Rockford, Illinois, immersed in Scandinavian culture from her earliest years. Both of her parents are of Swedish descent, as her father’s parents and mother’s grandparents emigrated from Sweden. After graduating from high school in Rockford, Jana moved to Ames, Iowa, where she attended Iowa State University, receiving a degree in Advertising Design. She then went on to work as Art Director for an ad agency and later as a Graphic Designer for the University of Iowa. In 1993, Jana began her current line of art, JJS Scandinavian, beginning with her signed limited-edition print, “Nu är det jul igen.” She has since extended her line of artwork to include cards, prints, notepaper, recipe cards, gift tags, and other items. She now sells her artwork to over 200 shops around the country. Jana lives in Iowa City, Iowa with her husband Jerry Schnoor, a professor at the University of Iowa. She has two grown children living in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Portland, Oregon.
