Jenny Bolhofner

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had the urge to make things. In 2009, I graduated from MSU with a BFA in printmaking and drawing (with an emphasis in bookbinding as well). Shortly after graduation, I moved to Guam with my husband Derrick. Though there were no galleries on the tiny overseas island, I did my best to keep making and showing art. I landed a few pieces in the beautiful Hand Held Gallery in Melbourne, Australia. I also created and coordinated a collaborative drawing project (The Change Exchange), which included works from 28 various artists from across the country. After two years on Guam, Derrick and I moved back to the States for a fresh start. We are currently living just outside of Portland, and enjoying the infamous rain of the Northwest. Presently, I am working out of my attic studio in preparation for a solo show at the Hand Held Gallery. jennybolhofner.com
