About

Jenny Halpern (b. Merrillville, Indiana) 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.

Based in Chicago, Jenny earned her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Painting and Drawing Department in 2023.

Her work has been exhibited at Rushwoman, 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, Noyes Cultural Arts Center, Parlour and Ramp, Ivory Gate Gallery, Chicago Cultural Center, and MIAR Art City and featured in Studio Visit Magazine (Vol. 53).
