Hello there.

I’m Jennifer Rae.

I am a visual artist. I am currently crafting a few short films, and a couple of large paintings. I also work in movement, portraiture, and immersive installations. Most recently, I self produced the art film and installation: Emotion Exhibitionism (2021) and helped curate the traveling art exhibition: No Bodies. I was also a part of Nasty Women CT’s annual art exhibition (my piece is the last one highlighted in the article). I also cofounded and ran the community and artist space: Studio i Gallery, which was an incredible passion project and way to collaborate with and support local artists.

I am a seasoned teacher of all ages (kindergarten - college). I most recently was teaching through the amazing organization: Arts for Learning Connecticut. They connected me with residencies, museum & community workshops, as well as in-school, after school and summer programs. Head over to my TEACHING page to see more about the programs offer. I also have a select number of internships for high school and university students. Please check out the MENTORSHIPS page if you are interested in more details.

By day, I run a design & communications business. By night and weekend, I’m running around in nature, laughing and exploring with my toddler. My most peaceful moments are when I’m cozied up in my hammock, with a warm tea and new book to wisk my mind away.

Well, that’s me! If you have any questions, just click CONTACT and say hi!
