Jennifer Rose Wolken is a visual artist creating work in the form of sculptures, artists' books, and installations. Trained as a graphic designer and illustrator, Jennifer's more recent work explores the potential of the book as a sculptural form of artistic expression. It incorporates recycled materials, ceramics, found & handmade paper, wood, metal, leather, and thread as well as other mixed media materials. She created one of a kind sculptures and installations as well as small editions of original handmade books.

Chronic Illness and Grief are common subject matters for these pieces. Emotions and circumstances surrounding these subjects are isolated and expressed through material texture, color, and form. Time is laid out using the space of the book as a kind of visual charting.

Jennifer is from the Missouri Ozarks Region. She holds a BFA in Graphic Design, Illustration, and Painting and an MFA in Visual Studies.
