About

Jenna Melnyk is a (mostly) self-taught mixed-media artist and curator. She moved to San Francisco in 2014 on an impulse and now calls the city her home. Her work is inspired by contemporary graphic design and a love of all things wobbly and odd. Through hand cut shapes and muted colors, she seeks to explore the interplay of ugly and beautiful. Jenna is a graduate of Parsons School of Design and spent a year assisting NYC fiber artist, Dana Barnes, who’s mentorship influenced the use of roving in some of her wall hangings. When she’s not busy in her Bernal Heights studio, you can find her organizing events at the gallery & creative event space she co-founded: Wave Collective Space.
