Jennifer Christy 

 

Jennifer Christy is a contemporary artist and full-time resident of Martha’s Vineyard, primarily interested in modern, abstract representation of the contours, intersections and patterns of the natural island landscape. 

Born in 1969 into a family of artists, Jennifer moved to Martha’s Vineyard as a young child and spent much of her life surrounded by art and exploring the outdoors. She studied painting, sculpture and design at the School of Visual Arts in New York and drawing and photography at Studio Arts College International (SACI) in Florence, Italy. She earned a Masters of Art Education from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 1998.

Produced in both two and three dimensions, Jennifer’s acrylic paintings and sculplure work is an interpretation of the elemental forms and recurring structures in topography and terrain that are created by the ever present Island forces of wind and water.

While studying in New York, Jennifer worked as a studio assistant for the artist and sculptor Carol Kreeger Davidson, known for her post-minimalist folded and bent sculptures in paper and bronze.

In 1989, Jennifer won a grant to install a large, solar-lit fiberglass sculpture on the campus of Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA. In 2018, Jennifer completed a large-scale, commissioned painting for display at Beach Road Restaurant in Vineyard Haven, MA. In 2017, her work was represented in Architectural Digest in an article featuring The Grey Barn and Farm in West Tisbury, Ma. Jennifer lives in Chilmark with her family.
