Jennifer "Jen" Morgan is a Louisiana-based contemporary artist working in fiber. Through the slow, labor-intensive processes of wet felting, Nuno felting, and needle felting, she creates richly textured portraits inspired by the music, culture, and traditions of New Orleans. Working without paint, Morgan builds luminous surfaces from wool, silk, and hand-applied embellishments that invite close observation and celebrate the tactile qualities of handmade materials.
Her work has been exhibited internationally in Venice, Italy, through the European Cultural Centre's Personal Structures – Confluences exhibition and featured in Fiber Art Now. Morgan received First Place in New Orleans in Art: A Love Letter from the Crescent City at the R.W. Norton Art Gallery and is represented by Orleans Gallery in New Orleans.
