Leona Jurincie attended the University of Chicago at Circle Campus and studied at the School of the Art Institute. She later fine tuned her art skills with various teachers in multiple mediums. Her love of portraiture and florals are apparent in her glowing watercolors and oils, and winning top awards with her exquisitely detailed work. She loves to travel, using her camera to compile reference photos, which she later uses to develop into works of art.
