about.
Jennifer G. McCormick is an illustrator and fine artist based in North Carolina whose work explores perception, embodiment, and the space between science and inner life. She is a graduate of the Department of Art as Applied to Medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and is board-certified in Medical and Biological Illustration.
Trained to render the human body with anatomical precision, McCormick’s practice extends beyond diagnostics into questions of meaning and presence. In 2015, she presented an immersive talk, “Mindful Creativity,” on the TEDx stage at Wake Forest University, inviting audiences to consider how attention alters what we see. In 2018, she received the Marianne Oberg Foundation for Spiritual Art Award for her series XRay Visions, which layered anatomical imagery with emotional and symbolic depth.
She has spoken at Duke University School of Medicine and participated in conversation at Reynolda House Museum of American Art on the theme of seeing beyond diagnostics. Her encaustic work Redacted was exhibited at the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum in 2026.
​
Her upcoming series, Entangled, weaves together drawing, watercolor, and an evolving inquiry into artificial intelligence, asking what it means to render not just bodies, but consciousness, and connection.
​
McCormick teaches as an adjunct professor at High Point University and continues to build a body of work devoted to clarity, compassion, and deep looking.
