Jennifer Sullivan is a painter who lives and works in Ridgewood, Queens, whose studio-based painting practice evolved from earlier autobiographical performance and video-centered work. She has often described her paintings as a diary and a form of psychoanalysis. Jennifer Sullivan received her BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and her MFA in Fine Art from Parsons School of Design, New York, NY. Recent solo exhibitions include Original Face at Deli Grocery Gallery, Ridgewood, NY (2022), Sleeper at Turn Gallery, New York, NY (2021), Devotional Paintings at Julius Caesar, Chicago, IL (2020), Exiled Parts at No Place Gallery, Columbus, OH (2019), and the soft animal of your body at Emma Gray HQ, Los Angeles, CA (2018). Sullivan has exhibited widely, including exhibitions at NADA Miami, Peter Blum Gallery, Marinaro, Brennan and Griffin, Rod Barton, Marvin Gardens, Safe Gallery, Klaus Von Nichtsaggend, and the deCordova Museum. Awards include fellowships with Paint School at Shandaken Projects (2020) and the Fine Arts Work Center (2012-13), and residencies at the Lighthouse Works, the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, the Ox-Bow School of Art, and Yaddo. Her work has been reviewed in the NY Times, the Brooklyn Rail, and Art Papers.

Born in Sand Bank, New York, Milton Avery moved to Hartford, Connecticut, with his family in 1898. He held many jobs, working as an assembler, latheman, and mechanic before enrolling in a lettering class at the Connecticut League of Art Students in Hartford in 1905. Charles Noel Flagg, the school's director, persuaded Avery to transfer to a life-drawing class, which launched his career in fine arts. In 1918 Avery transferred to the School of Art at the Society of Hartford and exhibited his work while also holding down a variety of jobs, among them clerk and construction worker. In 1924 he became a member of the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts and a year later moved to New Jersey. From 1926 to 1938, he attended sketch classes at the Art Students League in New York, where he became a friend of Adolph Gottlieb, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman. In 1938 Avery worked as an artist in the Easel Division of the WPA Federal Art Project. About 1949, Avery began to experiment with monotypes. In 1952 he visited Europe and began working in woodcut. By 1957, his paintings had become much larger in scale. Among the many places that exhibited Avery?s work were the Phillips Memorial Gallery, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Durand-Ruel Galleries in New York.
