Jenny Ibsen is a Maine-based artist, restaurant worker, and organizer with a community-centered art practice. Her ceramic works are often colorful, hand-built terracotta vessels that intend to facilitate connection to food. In tandem with her ceramic practice, Jenny hosts elaborate pickle-centered meals as part of her series, fish picnic, which celebrates the Maine ocean, access to local food, and community through public and free outdoor experiences.
Jenny moved to Maine in 2014 to pursue her BA at Bowdoin College. She was born in China and raised by her Scandinavian parents in Connecticut. She is a co-organizer for Tender Table and lives in Portland, Maine.
