Jennifer Strings is a mixed media visual artist based in Harlem, New York. With a career spanning 25 years as an art educator in New York City’s public and private schools, Jen’s teaching practice has given her the independence to live and create art on her own terms. She holds a BFA in Drawing and Printmaking from SUNY Purchase College and an MA in Art Education from CUNY City College.
For the past four and a half years, Jen has focused on creating short animated vignettes as an extension of her works on paper. These animations, titled The Doll Chronicles, combine sculpting, sewing, filming, editing, digital drawing, singing, and animating—pushing the boundaries of her creative practice.
Jen’s work bridges traditional and new media, blending personal introspection with universal themes of self-exploration and alternate realities. Her exploration of magical realism, the subconscious, and multi-sensory experiences resonates with a contemporary audience drawn to immersive, multi-disciplinary art.
