Jena (pronounced “jee-nuh”) Holliday is a midwest-born graphic artist, freelance illustrator, wife and mother of two based in Minneapolis. Her mixed media illustrations are inspired by the diversity of people in the world, love of botanical elements, motherhood, and faith in everyday life.
Although she’s created from a young age, her path to illustration isn’t traditional as she had a career in marketing before painting. God showed up and in a beautiful way, merged her love of story telling with her passion for art and Spoonful of Faith was born. In 2019 Holliday received the Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant which was a great opportunity to continue to showcase her work in the Minnesota community. She loves to help other’s tell their stories through her work as well as educate + empower those who are on a similar journey.
