Note: Jennifer Schmidt ​​​​​​is on sabbatical from 9/1/25 to 8/31/26.

Jennifer Schmidt is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Brooklyn, NY, who works with print media, graphic design, textiles, writing, and sound to create site-responsive installations, multiples, video, and performances that question the role of visual iconography and repetitive actions within a given environment. Her current research explores the role of industrial, digital, and photographic technology in thinking about print, multiplicity, and derivatives within a circular economy of images, materials, and ideas.

She received her Master of Fine Arts degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Bachelor of Arts degrees in Studio Art and Art History from the University of Delaware, and is Professor of the Practice in Print at SMFA at Tufts University in Boston, MA.
