About
Jen P. Harris (American, b. 1977) is a Cleveland-based artist who repositions the relationship between painting and textiles in wall-based works that pose a slippery dance between media. Harris received a BA in Studio Art from Yale University and an MFA in Painting from Queens College CUNY. They were awarded a Fellowship in Painting from the New York Foundation for the Arts in 2012 and a Pollock Krasner Grant in 2025. Harris' works are in numerous public and private collections and are featured in the book TEXTILES x ART (Thames and Hudson, 2025). Recent group exhibitions include Jane Lombard Gallery (New York, NY), Essex Flowers (New York, NY), Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn, NY), and Abigail Ogilvy Gallery (Los Angeles, CA). Harris’s most recent solo show was in January 2026 with PATRICIA SWEETOW (Los Angeles, CA) marking their first exhibition with the gallery. Harris is represented by Abattoir Gallery (Cleveland, OH).
