Biography
Jen P. Harris is a Los Angeles-based artist working across painting, installation, works on paper, and collage.

Harris was born in Virginia and completed her undergraduate studies at Yale. She attended the Yale-Norfolk Summer School of Art and the International School of Art in Umbria (Italy) before earning her MFA at Queens College of the City University of New York. In 2012 she was awarded a Fellowship in Painting from the New York Foundation for the Arts.
