About me
Jen Rose is an ecological artist who received her MFA in Ceramics from the University of North Texas in 2002. Jen held a faculty position until 2022 at Richland College and maintains an active exhibition schedule. Her solo exhibitions include venues such as the Dallas Contemporary, the Morean Center for clay in St. Petersburg, Florida, and the Firehouse Art Center in Longmont, Colorado. She is currently represented by Camiba Gallery in Austin, TX. Jen recently combined her porcelain expertise with her love of nature to create Bee Cups. They are porcelain cups for the garden that collect a teaspoon of water for thirsty pollinators. Bee Cups employ several elements of biomimicry to make the cups look more like flowers to bees, including a UV-reactive glaze that Jen invented in her studio. The Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and the Houston Botanic Garden each hosted 3000-piece installations of Bee Cups.
