Bio
Jenny Halpern (b. Merrillville, Indiana), earned her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from the Painting and Drawing Department in 2023. Based in Chicago, Jenny is a painter and educator whose work explores liminal spaces where memory, domesticity, and the body become significant elements. These spaces dissolve the boundaries between reality and imagination, reflecting themes of holding, touch, and tangled moments that disrupt a linear sense of time.
Her work has been exhibited at Rushwoman, Chicago Cultural Center, Noyes Cultural Arts Center, Parlour and Ramp, Yes Project Space at Zhou B Art Center, NEIU Fine Arts Center Gallery, The Art Institute of Chicago, JULIUS CAESAR, Color Club, Hyde Park Art Center, Woman Made Gallery, CNL Projects, Latin School Gallery, Heaven Gallery, Ivory Gate Gallery, and MIAR Art City.
