Jonna Pedersen was born in Lumby, Denmark in 1971. After obtaining an MA in International Business Foreign Languages in Denmark, she enrolled at Ealing Art College, London in 1999.

Jonna has been holding solo and group exhibitions since 2004 exhibiting in Europe, USA and the United Kingdom. She has also taken part in several National and International Juried Exhibitions since 2004, winning several Diplomas of Excellence.

Her work is in several private and public collections including the Danish Bank Art Society.

Since a 2006 trip to New York, Jonna Pedersen has been working with urban landscapes. Sans signs of life, everything appears pristinely undisturbed in Pedersen's paintings. The desolate effect is enhanced by her meticulously detailed style, in which acrylics are employed like tempera paints to produce flat, dry-looking colour areas that can appear simultaneously bright and muted.

Jonna Pedersen lives and works in Denmark.
