What We Do with Delanie Jenkins



What We Do and Studio Arts is thrilled to announce that Delanie Jenkins will speak about her work on Thursday, February 24 at 12pm via Zoom.

Delanie Jenkins is an artist currently on an adventure. With formative experiences in the Prairies and Pineywoods of Texas, Jenkins cultivated a sense of wonder in nature among people rooted in place. Through an early career in architectural design, she developed an experiential awareness in the constructed environment that transformed through art making into site specific, installation, and performance works. Woven together, sensitivity to material, space, and place becomes the groundwork of a responsive creative process that is part exploration, transformation, and salvage. Returning to Studio Arts after a year away, Jenkins is immersed in geology, feels the desert in her bones, and has the Arctic on her mind.

Jenkins earned a BA in Art and Performance at the University of Texas at Dallas and an MFA in Sculpture at the University of Colorado in Boulder. In Studio Arts, she teaches sculpture, installation, and a summer field study intensive in rural Wyoming.
