Jessica Lenard

I am a working artist and teacher of 30 years. I have work in 15 museum collections and have shown extensively in the US and Europe. My work is autobiographical and literary, at once intimate and universal. The German translation of Dada means 'crazy narrative', and this aptly describes my work.
