We’re thrilled to welcome artist Jennifer Christy to the gallery at YAM for the next six weeks. An educator, collage artist, painter, and designer, Jennifer creates work that feels both joyfully nostalgic and strikingly modern—filled with vibrant color, whimsical shapes, and playful energy. Her pieces invite viewers into a world where fine art and wearable art alike are meant to uplift, inspire, and brighten everyday life.

By day, Jennifer encourages young K–4 artists to explore their own creative voices. By night, she immerses herself in paint, resin, collage, and experimentation, drawing inspiration from the colorful visual culture of the 1970s and 1980s. Her work channels the bold palettes of early Atari games, the quirky charm of Saturday morning cartoons and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, touches of Tim Burton-esque whimsy, and the playful geometry of Scandinavian folk art. The result is a collection that feels imaginative, energetic, and deeply joyful.
