Jenn DeWald

i make art. i make art and encourage others to make more art. i make art that solely reflects everything: you, me, my patients in the hospital, dead things, toys, war, space, feminism, love and crutches. From a laceration to the cross of an Ash Wednesday observer—I find art and sanity. Creating is my home. It is a place where I can teach, learn, laugh and love. We all are art to me. I am a self-taught visual artist who integrates my experiences with ER nursing, life as a feminist and mother into paintings, drawing, writing and sculpture. My work offers a visual analysis of life, death, psychology, spirituality, gender and politics. I work with oil, acrylic, ink, found objects, watercolor, pencil and anything else I can get my hands on. Much of my art has been created or influenced by live performance: musicians, actors, models, and patients. I also freelance illustrate and create art for writers, musicians, expectant moms and performers. I am passionate about creating art that offers possibility to the viewer. I enjoy developing a place where you can connect to odd places, unspoken truths, awakening subconscious phenomena, dreams and self-revealing moments.

		Elizabeth Katch about 2 years I confess, I am browsing, but love three things I found here on your page: 1. Your delicate touch 2. Your passionate approach (I am passionate about many of the same things) 3. last, but not least, the fact that you are self-taught. That makes you an explorer.
