BIO
Jennifer Herrold grew up in rural Indiana where her father taught ceramics at the nearby University. He also served as her personal painting professor throughout life. Jennifer attended the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy in Northern Michigan where she won The President’s Award in Painting upon graduating. Jennifer received a BA from Indiana University and then did a year’s time toward a Painting MFA at the same institution. She spent plenty of time hustling paintings- and showing in generally improper venues. Jennifer did notably sell thousands of “Inconspicuous Toupees” with a chin strap– to the esteemed novelty dealer, Archie McPhee– which reflects a common vein of humor throughout her paintings. Jennifer worked and showed in Ann Arbor, MI and in Brooklyn, NY–she was an assistant to a sculptor. She returned ‘home’ to Greencastle, IN and saturated the local college professor market with narrative commissions and abstract realism. Jennifer migrated further south to Bloomington, IN where she currently resides and shows.
