Jenny Del Fuego is a visual artist and writer whose work spans performance, installation and collage to explore identity, resilience and the environment through abstraction.  The Chicago native combines diverse influences such as Minimalism and Fluxus to science and poetry in her practice.  She blends personal narrative with communal collaboration to create work that is both intimate and accessible.  Del Fuego’s current research focuses on the conservation of waterways and riparian corridors in the Upper Mississippi River Basin.

For over two decades, Del Fuego has worked locally and internationally as an artist, designer and educator. A Fine Arts graduate of Indiana University Bloomington, she has been commissioned by Herron Galleries and Tube Factory, and has shown work and performed at universities, galleries, and public institutions. Recent awards include a Process/Progress Fellowship, a grant from the Indianapolis Arts Council, and a residency on Michigan’s Harbor Coast. Her paintings and photographs are held in collections across five continents.
