About the artist:
For Jen Rose, art is a practice of constant experimentation: question everything. This philosophy is apparent in the diversity and volume of her output, as is her tenacity and devotion to technically difficult materials. But, it is her use of multiples that persists through her evolving bodies of work.
Jen Rose is a Texas native, born and raised in San Angelo. She received her MFA in Ceramics from the University of North Texas in Denton in 2002. She held a faculty position at Richland College for nine years before becoming her own boss at Bee Cups LLC, which utilizes a patent pending UV-
reactive glaze that she developed to aid in attracting pollinators. She exhibits her artwork regionally and nationally and has received multiple honors, including Innovation of the Year Recipient at the League of Innovation conference in San Francisco, CA in 2016.
