About Our Juror, Jenny Brown
Jenny Brown is a visual artist living and working in Providence, RI, whose primary mediums are drawing and collage. Flowers are a prominent part of Jenny’s visual vocabulary, and often appear as time keepers, mystics, & historical markers in her works. 🌺 Jenny is a 1996 graduate of Bennington College and received her MFA in 2005 from The School of Visual Arts. Her antique and vintage paper filled studio was featured in the Spring 2026 issue of Where Women Create, and a collection of her work will be displayed this summer at Rhode Island/Hasbro Children's Hospital's Gladys Potter Gallery.

We are looking for contemporary, vibrant, and boundary-pushing interpretations of the flora kingdom. FLORALISM invites artists to explore flowers not just as passive objects of beauty, but as dynamic symbols of growth, decay, rebellion, and identity.

In a world constantly navigating change, flowers serve as the ultimate metaphor for rebirth and radical resilience. They are nature’s quiet revolutionaries—breaking through asphalt, thriving after the burn, and transforming decay into brand-new life.

We are interested in a wide spectrum of interpretation, ranging from the simplicity of a still-life observation to deeply tactile, transformative works. We encourage artists to experiment with objects, textiles, fiber arts, and mixed media to build this ‘landscape’. Whether your approach is minimalist, conceptual, or sculptural, we want to see how you cultivate this floral motif.

Throughout the month of September, our Juried Artist Member Denise Boisvert will be bringing in fresh dahlias from her gardens to accompany the show!
