how I got here.

Jennifer Marion is an interdisciplinary artist from Louisiana, raised in Tennessee, and currently based in Houston, TX. Her art practice engages with photography, video, textiles, sound, and installation to investigate generational trauma and the suppression and silencing of the female voice through the accumulation of everyday materials such as party supplies, receipts, and magazine clippings. Describing herself as a "polite menace," she uses art to transform personal trauma into something that can be shared rather than something that swallows her whole, creating a place where her identities as a queer mother intersect. 
Marion holds an MFA from the University of Houston and received her BFA from Lamar University. She has exhibited works at Blaffer Art Museum, The Orange Show, and Elgin Street Studios in Houston, as well as at Lawndale Art Center and internationally in Rome, Italy. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions including The Big Show at Lawndale Art Center and Sojourn International Art Exhibition where she received Best in Show. She has been published in Soft Lighting Zine and Photo Trouveé Magazine and is co-founder of the space in between gallery. Marion is currently teaching video art and photography at the University of Houston.
