JENNY'S BIOGRAPHY
Jenny Kahn was born and raised in New Orleans. She studied painting at the Gerrrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam where she lived for six years. She then worked for a number of years in the printing industry as a graphic artist and illustrator. In Philadelphia, she received an MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. She has exhibited her work in New Orleans, Philadelphia, New York, and elsewhere. In 2000, Jenny returned to New Orleans where the majority of these paintings were executed.
“With the exception of the portraits, most of my work is autobiographical. By incorporating collage or by using multiple panels, I am able to expand on a central subject. The final combination of imagery reflects on the universal themes of time, place, family, and community.”
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed most of New Orleans. Jenny lost her studio and her home. She currently lives in California.
