Jessica Meuninck-Ganger's visual art practice can be framed as communal engagement in “making” by means of papercrafts and printmaking. She has a dedicated interest in learning and sharing the traditions of these practices, practices that are rooted in ideas of locale and community. Printed assemblages of built environments utilize paper's strength, translucency, touch, surface, and materiality to offer a unique "Viewshed".
Jessica Meuninck-Ganger’s prints, artist’s books and large-scale hybrid media works have been exhibited in museums and both experimental and commercial galleries regionally, nationally and internationally. Her works are included in several private and public collections, including the Weisman Museum of Art, Northwestern Mutual, the Target Corporation, and in contemporary publications, such as Andrea Ferber’s, Sustenance: Contemporary Printmaking Now, Richard Noyce’s, Printmaking Beyond the Edge, and Nathaniel Stern’s, Interactive Art and Embodiment: The Implicit Body as Performance. Jessica received a BS degree in Art Education from Ball State University and a MFA in Studio Arts from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. She is currently the Print and Narrative Forms Area Head, Associate Professor, and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
