At the foundation of Jenny E. Balisle's art practice is the creation and alteration of the line. Working across disparate media, the body of work is conceptually linked by the artist's interest in an array of dichotomous relationships. This interest in opposing forces not only inspires the work, but it correlates to Balisle's process as well. Working ambidextrously, she engages both hands in an attempt to unify the obsessive and intentional marks with open and lyrical tendencies. Some elements are forced, incorporated, or blended, while others are skewed, twisted, or implied. Balisle seeks a visceral process and is inspired by the progression from disorientation to clarity.
Jenny E. Balisle earned a B.A. in Art and Communication from University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and an M.F.A from Academy of Art University (AAU) in San Francisco. She works as a full-time artist and teaches Critical Thinking, Abstract and Interpretation, as well as directed studies at AAU graduate school. Balisle has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States, such as; Harvard University, San Francisco State University, Golda Foundation at Fresno Art Museum, Chicago Cultural Center, and Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Her work has been featured in such publications as; The Renascent Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Sculptural Pursuits Magazine and Best of America Mixed Media Artists and Artisans Volume 1. Balisle was also featured in the Hearts in San Francisco public art project. Balisle currently lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area.
