New Residential Installation Images!
Two new photoshoots of work installed at residences are now up on the site! Take a peek at work on Valencia Road and Aptos Hills. This is a great way to imagine how a sculpture or installation might work in your space.

Sculpture IS: 2015 Installation
This weekend, Nate and I were over at Sierra Azul Gardens in Watsonville to install the new Bone Series piece, we worked on it for over 4 hours and it still needs a little tweaking but it’s looking really good! These are the same pieces (plus a few more) that I used for my Bone Series Installation at the MAH for Everybody’s Ocean exhibit, but the pieces are being displayed in a completely new configuration. Conceptually, I feel that the pieces in this installation represent the connections we have with each other, the synapses happening within our own bodies and how we are stitched together from past to present, from inside and out.
Be sure to come by for the opening of Sculpture Is: 2015 on June 11th from 5:00 – 7:00pm. The exhibit will be up from June 1 – Oct 31, 2015.
The Bone Series at the Compound Gallery
I’ve been a part of the Art in a Box program at The Compound Gallery in Oakland CA for a few years now, which has been great. They’ve recently expanded their studio spaces and added a new sculpture exhibition space called the Fabrefaction Gallery and I’ve been invited to exhibit my work there this summer. I’ll be showing work from my Bone Series in an exhibit called Relics of the Tide, these pieces have never been shown outside the studio so it is their public debut and I’m so excited!
Relics of the Tide
Show dates: July 18th – Sept 6th
Opening Reception: July 18th 6-9pm

Sculpture IS: 2015
I’m so excited to once again be participating in the Sculpture IS exhibit at Sierra Azul Gardens this summer. It’s one of my favorite local exhibits and it incorporates art and nature beautifully. This year I’ll be doing a site specific installation of my Bone Series. If you were able to make it to the Spring Studio Sale a few weeks ago, you saw a mock up if the installation in the studio, I’m hoping that the garden and sky space will only enhance what is already so exciting about this installation. Hope to see you at the reception!

Yes, I’m late to the game but I’ve finally joined the modern world and opened an Instagram account, so if you’ve given up on other forms of advertising filled social media and instead just want to view beautiful pictures of art, nature, travels and works in progress, you can follow me at jenniwardart. #whereartandnaturemeet
Studio Sale Success!
A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support independent artists and student artists at our 10th annual Spring Studio Sale this past Saturday!!!
