Teen Art Chat is a free virtual studio visit series for teens, created by teens in MAD’s Artslife Internship Program. Teen Art Chats connect teens ages 13-18 with a member of MAD’s Artist Studios residency for a teens-only studio visit, facilitated via Zoom webinar and hosted by MAD Artslife teen interns.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Jen Dwyer’s playful ceramic sculptures and otherworldly installations evoke dreams, fantasy, and the desire to escape to a world of one’s own creation. Through ceramics, painting, and installation, Dwyer creates a uniquely powerful, caring, and intimate feminine world, underscored by the artist’s study of Paleolithic talismans, the decadent Rococo aesthetic, and contemporary girlhood culture. Dwyer earned her MFA in Ceramics from the University of Notre Dame and her BFA from the University of Washington. She has shown locally and internationally. Recent exhibitions include a solo booth Spring/Break Art Fair in New York City, Maxon Mills Gallery in Wassaic, and GAA Gallery in Provincetown.
