Jennifer York (née Jen Swearington) grew up in rural Indiana, drawing since she was little. She earned a BFA in Sculpture from Pratt Institute in 1997 and MFA in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2000, then settled in Asheville, NC where she produced Jennythreads handmade apparel for stylish women.
In March 2020, York relocated to Charleston, SC, where she found fresh inspiration throughout the coastal South and focused on fine art full-time. Recent solo exhibitions include "New Histories'' at the Gibbes Museum of Art in 2021, "Estuary Blues" at the Burroughs Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, "Constructed Realities" at the Museum of Art-DeLand (Florida) in 2023, "Historical Fiction" at the Charleston Library, and "Thunder and Wonder" at FMU Gately Gallery in Florence.
Jennifer York was named 2024 Griffith-Reyburn Lowcountry Artist of the Year, and is the City of North Charleston's Artist in Residence and Ambassador.
