Jenny Magruder is a fine art photographer and artist. Raised in Texas and Alaska, she developed a deep relationship with nature. She began photographing at age 16 with a Pentax film camera.
Jenny works with film and digital images to explore the nature of being, often experimenting and practicing self portraiture to reveal glimpses of an unconscious mind. Driven to connect with herself, her work is inspired by dreams, memories, and the natural world. Through themes of femininity, transformation, spirituality, anxiety, and mystery, she finds beauty in existing.
Jenny holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts in photographic illustration from Rochester Institute of Technology (2012) and has exhibited her work nationally as well as internationally at venues such as Somerset House London, Gallery R, Vandernoot Gallery and The Great Highway Gallery. Her work has been printed by Black Flower Publishing and The Sun Magazine. She is currently based in Buffalo, NY and continues to make new work.
