Jennifer Prevatt
Jennifer Prevatt is a New York based interdisciplinary artist, children’s book illustrator, and educator. She holds a BA in Scientific Illustration and an MFA from Newcastle University. Influenced by the visual language of dreams and fairytales, her practice blends constructs surrounding memory, mortality, feminism, and sexuality. She experiments with mixed media to create a visual narrative of archetypal thought patterns within the framework of a fairy tale, working primarily with paper as a sculptural form because of its delicate and vulnerable quality.
