    Capturing a moment,gesture or memory with words, image and whimsy best describes my work. My styles has been described as visual narrative, somewhere between Gary Larson and Henry Darger. Favorite themes include words, politics, religion, and people sprinkled with ephemera, little stories, glitter and old stuff.

  A third generation doll maker, I work in a diverse range of media using papers, cardboard, wood, fabric, metal, plastic and canvas. work includes monotypes, recycle, assemblage and art dolls.

  After studying for a masters in monumental sculpture, I designed and produced a wholesale line of art dolls for Sak's Fifth Ave. and other high-end retail stores and venues. Art work has been featured in galleries, media and shows nationally and internationally.

  Moving to Santa Fe in 1993, I established a studio presenting my art in La Fonda, Leslie Flint Gallery, Panache, Mariposa, Edith Lambert and The Gov.'s Gallery. My work has been shown in the Santa Fe Hispanic Museum, Made in new Mexico and others. My art has been shown in numerous galleries in California and Washington, Texas and has been featured in London and Japan. I am a founding artist and participant in the "Recycle New Mexico" show now in its 12th year. As a participant in the College of Santa Fe's Monothon, Girls Inc., Challenge New Mexico and the Sant Marcos and Eldorado Studio Tours, I have gained a certain following.

In 2008 I established a studio/gallery on Canyon Rd. tripling the gallery space last year by moving to 826 Canyon Rd. and including other local artists. My work is also available online at www.jenniecooley.com
