Barbara Jeanne Jenkins

b. 1978, Trenton, NJ

Barbara Jeanne Jenkins lives and works in Chicago, IL. As an elementary art teacher in the Chicago Public Schools, she has a radical daily morning routine that allows her to enter the studio each day before commuting to her school. This routine is the substance that has led to her current practice. She now spends weekends or days off from school organizing her canvases with oil sticks to manage her daily painting routine and create substantial works of art.
