Artist Bio  

Jennifer Hines incorporates images of the human body, natural imagery, and the written word into her artwork using many mediums, including sculpture, printmaking, digital photography, painting, drawing, and installation, to explore the conceptual ideas of identity, narrative, and memory.  Jennifer has shown her work at various locations in the Chicago area and nationwide in solo, group, and juried shows. Her solo show, flora and fauna at Morning Glory Studios in Chicago in March 2011, was a show of works on paper, including drawings, photographs, and collages, that explored the symbolism of the natural world in the formation and enactment of human identities. Her solo show, cultivation, at fill in the blank gallery in Chicago in June 2010, contained drawings, paintings on digital photos, embroidery, and mixed-media sculptural pieces that explored plant life and the human body. She continues to show in solo and group shows in Chicago and other locations in the United States and is actively engaged in showing her work at a variety of venues. She attended a month-long residency at CAMAC in France during November 2011 to expand and develop her art practice, and where she developed the “Balance” series of artworks, which is her current body of work. Jennifer studied printmaking, art, and creative writing at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA and Penn State University in State College, PA, and arts management at Columbia College of the Arts, Chicago. In addition, she also created and ran the apartment gallery back room projects in Chicago, IL (2010-2011), is involved with the printmaking organization Print Zero Studios Chicago, and participates in other curatorial projects for local community shows and festivals. She currently resides in Chicago, IL.
