Ms. Jenny is a digital media artist and educator with a bent towards science and math in her work and teaching. She most recently taught at Cocheco Academy of the Arts, after long stints at Philllips Exeter Academy and Heronfield Academy where she developed hybrid art/math curricula to foster spatial acuity and teach everything from ratios to the coordinate plane, tessellation to the Fibonacci sequence. Ms. Jenny is a recipient of numerous awards and grants, including the coveted NH Charitable Foundation’s “Artist’s Advancement Grant” and is on the roster of New Hampshire State Arts Fellows.
Additionally, Ms. Jenny is an arts and community advocate, having served on Portsmouth, NH’s first Blue Ribbon Committee for Arts & Culture, co-founding the Islington Creek Neighborhood Association, and coordinating the Rock Street Park stage project – one of the first community art projects in Portsmouth. In 2009 she established an artist’s residency program in Nova Scotia to support artists from Maine College of Art & Design.
Ms. Jenny works in a backyard studio behind her home where she lives with her husband, some combination or permutation of her four children and extended family, plus rescued dogs Breaker and Betty.
