Born in Reykjavík, Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson has lived and worked in Cleveland, Ohio, for thirty years. From 1983 through 1985, she studied architecture at Kent State University before switching her focus to studio art and studying at Cleveland Institute of Art. Later, she returned to Kent State where she earned her BFA in 1991 and her MFA in 1995. Since then she has regularly returned to her native Iceland, splitting her time between Ohio and Reykjavik. In 2014, the Reykjavik Museum of Art and the Francis Young Tang Teaching Museum mounted an important two-location exhibition of Jónsson’s work from the previous five years. Her work can be found in diverse collections both nationally and internationally, including the Cleveland Clinic, the Cleveland Museum of Art, Progressive Insurance, and the Reykjavik Museum of Art.
