Jenna Goldberg
Born in the New York City area and raised there in the 1970s, Jenna Goldberg creates work that has a curiously aged and bucolic quality that she traces to her family's history as "antique hounds." Says Goldberg, "I want my work to seem like the best garage sale find you could ever stumble upon."
Her cabinets, tables, and wall-hung vanities freely borrow elements from vernacular American furniture of the past two centuries.
Her work has been shown in numerous solo, group and museum shows around the country. It can be found in the permanent collection of the Mint Museum of Art and Design in Charlotte, NC and the Renwick Gallery in Washington DC.
Jenna teaches part time at Rhode Island School of Design in the Industrial Design department. She has participated in several artist residencies including two years at Anderson Ranch Arts Center and also a Windgate funded residency at San Diego State University. She has been the recipient of the North Carolina Arts council award and also the Rhode Island Council on the Arts award for Crafts in 2005 and 2012.
