Jennifer Wilkin Penick's introduction to collage was in early childhood, when
her mother cut up magazine pages and invited her to make "mosaics" from
them, using paste and a small tin brush. Living for decades in Italy as an adult
gave her weekly access to the vintage paper vendors of Rome's legendary flea
market. She studied studio art and art history and these two interests converge
in Jennifer's sometimes whimsical mixed media and collage works that
frequently reference her relationship to (and nostalgia for) the artistic heritage
of her adoptive country. In addition to being a practicing artist, she teaches
art to children and adults and has been a Visual-Artist-in-Residence with
MedStar Georgetown University Hospital's Arts & Humanities Program since 2018.
