Jennifer Keltos (b.1989) is an artist based in New York City and the Hudson Valley. She studied classical drawing and painting at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, developing a foundation in traditional techniques that inform her contemporary practice. Her work explores fleeting cultural memory, farcical performances of femininity and the latent strangeness of the everyday. Rooted in a searching, restless observation, she grasps at something evanescent, tender, and absurd. Jennifer’s work is showcased widely in collections throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. She has been awarded the Alpine Fellowship and the Hudson River Fellowship. In addition to her studio practice, she works in art conservation, specializing in the restoration of sculpture and Tibetan Thangka paintings.
