Jennifer Schumacher Waller is a multidisciplinary artist who grew up on the West Coast and is now based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her art practice moves between clay, paper and fiber often bridging the three together. Her work travels into an in betweenness - where absence and presence quietly coexist - while connecting the restorative practice of mending and meditation. Jennifer received her BFA from Louisiana State University where she studied ceramics and photography. Jennifer worked as an Art Educator, Exhibit Designer and Resident Artist at the Louisiana Children's Museum. She has taught in public and private schools and held numerous art workshops across Louisiana and was the St. Tammany Artist in Residence for 10 years. In 2023, Jennifer established her own community clay studio in New Orleans , Clay Work.shop, and went on to receive a Post-Baccalaureate in Ceramics at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. Jennifer is a member of the Boston Nomad Collective, received numerous awards and participated in residencies such as The International Artist Residency Exchange in St. Raphael, France and the Red Lodge Clay Center in Montana. Her solo show was in 2006 at the Morean Art Center for Clay.
