jenn: Jenn Bakalar is a visual and multi-media artist whose work deals with female physical and social identities. After graduating from SUNY Purchase College in 2009 with a BFA in Painting and Drawing and Minor in Art History, Bakalar spent time working and traveling on the West Coast and Europe before returning to New York to complete a Masters Degree in Arts Education at Brooklyn College. She works simultaneously in 2-D and 3-D media as well as performance, music and dance collaborations with other artists. In her current process, the dichotomy of creation relates to the innately female capabilities of reproduction as well as inverse destructive forces. Often autobiographical, Bakalar’s visual exploration of the feminine identity proposes the female force as a balance of positive and negative, creative and destructive. She currently lives in Asheville NC.
