“I am an artist originally from Des Moines, Iowa who is currently living and working in Indianapolis, Indiana. I earned my MFA in printmaking from Kansas State University in 2015. From 2016-2021 I taught courses at Indiana Wesleyan University, and for four years in a row I curated a national printmaking exhibition and portfolio for the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library in Indianapolis. My work has been included in exhibitions across the United States including the Bradley International Print and Drawing Exhibition, Pacific States Biennial North American Printmaking Exhibition, Americas 2019: Paperworks, International Print Center New York New Prints, and others. In recent years I have created work based out of my studio in Indianapolis as well as printmaking residencies in Picton, Ontario and Arenys de Munt, Barcelona. Through an earnest, rather than ironic, use of the vernacular, my work acts as a humorous unifier, and stresses the importance of inclusion, accessibility, and personal expression in a world where so many are relegated to the fringes. I possess a keen desire to connect with human beings from all walks of life, and a distinct affinity for the absurd and scatological that manifests as self-directed satire. This unique combination invites viewers to relate. The work is driven by humor and spontaneity and is filled with an inventiveness and ambiguity of subject that ranges from cheekily adolescent to darkly absurd. Through my work I aim to create sensorial and emotionally peculiar experiences that mimic the humorous lens through which I look at life and underscore the power of empathy.” – Jolynn Reigeluth
