BIOGRAPHY

Jenna Jerman is a Brooklyn-based artist and abortion rights champion. Working in both 2D and 3D across a variety of media, including encaustic, ceramic, and water and oil-based mediums, her work explores self-determination through imagery related to pregnancy, power, and the monstrous feminine.

 

With a background in public health, Jenna has worked in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights for over 20 years. The majority of her career focused on advancing access to abortion rights and services. This background heavily informs and influences her artwork, much of which interrogates the socially constructed meanings of pregnancy, and what could be possible if women and gender expansive individuals and communities had the freedom and power to achieve the reproductive futures they want.
