Janis Mars Wunderlich’s evocative, somewhat surrealistic imagery captures the dualities and complexities of being human and is inspired by historical ceramic figurines and her Cherokee storyteller-folk artist grandfather. She is currently an assistant professor of art at Monmouth College in IL.

Wunderlich has exhibited nationally and internationally for over two decades, including recent exhibitions at Contemporary Art Center of Peoria, Quad City International Airport Art Gallery, Canton Museum of Art, American Museum of Ceramic Art, and Fuller Craft Museum. She was awarded an individual artist fellowship from the Illinois Arts Council in 2020.
