About our Founder
Founder, Jen Nash Kochevar
Founder, Jen Nash Kochevar, has a passion for bringing more beauty, elegance, meaning, and connection to the world. The artists she represents work from life, experience, and from their imagination, guided by presence rather than replication. They ask the same of the viewer: to slow down, to be present, and to experience art as a meaningful exchange.
With over 38 years of experience in the art, executive coaching, service, and corporate worlds, today Jen facilitates the movement, commissioning, and placement of high-end artwork worldwide.
As the co-owner in Gallery 366, she showcases a selection of the artwork of her represented artists, including Mary Pettis, Daniel Graves, Steven Assael, K. Libbey Nash, James Shoop, and Pauline Kruger Hamilton.
She serves on the board of The Florence Academy of Art, is a member of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA), Chair of ICAA Chicago-Midwest Chapter MN Subcommittee, American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Affiliate Member, and a WINC Member.
As ICAA Chicago-Midwest's Subcommittee Chair of Minnesota events, Jen is continuing ICAA's mission of advancing classical architecture, design, and the fine/allied arts in the Twin Cities through educational programs, lectures, and events throughout the year.
