"Experiment Wildly": A Bold New Exhibit by Artist Jennifer Levine Explores Identity, Vulnerability, and Liberation
We’re excited to welcome a new body of work by artist Jennifer Levine to hang in The Living Room beginning in early April through the end of July. This special installation transforms the space into an intimate setting to experience Levine’s powerful paintings up close. Visitors are invited to stop by, spend time with the work, and engage with a series that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Artwork will also be available for purchase during the exhibition.
We invite you to visit The Living Room this spring and summer to experience Jennifer Levine’s work in person. Stop by, take your time with the paintings, and explore a body of work that asks us all what we choose to hold onto.
Jennifer Levin
Known for her large-scale figurative paintings in oil and acrylic, Levine's work centers around themes of female identity, motherhood, and emotional resilience. In Experiment Wildly, she offers a raw and courageous response to chaos and vulnerability—particularly as a woman and mother in today’s uncertain world.
"This new body of work asks the essential question: What can you hold on to?" says Levine. Using a distilled visual language of simple lines and a refined color palette, she draws on mythological and art historical references, while also channeling the expressive power of artists like Richard Diebenkorn, Pierre Bonnard, and Tracey Emin. The result is a striking collection that is both healing and liberating, inviting viewers to find courage, empathy, and authenticity through visual storytelling.
Levine, who holds an MFA from SUNY New Paltz and is currently completing a prestigious three-year certificate at the New York Studio School, made the bold decision to leave behind a high-paying administrative role and her marriage to fully commit to her creative life. Her story echoes those of the often-unrecognized women of the Abstract Expressionist era, as explored in the book Ninth Street Women.
In addition to her studio practice, Levine is a passionate advocate for community artmaking, creating site-specific murals with children in schools and camps across the region. She believes art is a vital and overlooked tool for helping people—especially children—navigate life with imagination and hope.
