Artist Statement for Jennifer Strange
|
|
|
A native of Indianapolis, Indiana, Jennifer Strange earned her Bachelor of Art degree from Indiana University in 1982 in painting and drawing. During her undergraduate studies, she studied in Florence, Italy. In 1985, Ms. Strange returned to Italy, as a scholarship recipient during graduate studies in fine arts. She spent three months in Cortona, a medieval hilltown in central Italy. In 1986, she received her Master of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Georgia. She has taught fine arts courses for Butler University and Indiana University.
Jennifer enjoys both landscape and figurative painting, particularly work inspired by her travels. Along with her studio work, she has taught fine arts courses for Indiana University and does freelance illustration and mural painting. Clients have included The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, The Indiana State Museum, and the Indianapolis Zoo.
For the last nine years, she has been involved in creating drawings and sculptures inspired from Dante Alighieri’s medieval poem The Divine Comedy. Although the work is ongoing, portions of the collection have been displayed in various exhibitions including, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the National Academy of Design in New York. In recent years, she has been invited to speak about her work by several major American Universities including the University of Notre Dame, Bucknell University, Purdue University, Boston College and the University of Kentucky. Exhibitions include Indiana University at Kokomo, Indiana University at Richmond, The Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center Gallery at the University of Indianapolis and the Spirit in Place Festival sponsored by IUPUI. The PBS program Religion & Ethics News Weekly selected several drawings as visual aides during an interview with U.S. Poet Laureate, Robert Pinsky regarding his translation of the Divine Comedy. Columbia University exhibits the drawings online via their Digital Dante website. (http://dante.ilt.columbia.edu/images)
The Artist’s website for Inspired by Dante is http:inspiredbydante.home.att.net.
“The Dante work has played an important role in my career. It has brought great depth to my work and has pushed me to be more inventful and introspective. To travel with Dante is to experience every range of human emotion. I realize that I have barely scratched the surface of this epic poem, but I endeavor to discover ever more as I continue this work.”
Jennifer pursues this discovery of life through her many roles as artist, writer, wife, mother, and volunteer. She enjoys her life with her husband David, and their three sons, Drew, Chris and Max!
