Jean Dreyer
Jean Dreyer is a visual artist. Her interest in the interaction between text and image feeds into her art (either as black ink sketches, mixed media collage sketches, sculptural texts and artist books, or her oil on wood panels).
In her most recent solo, she explored the idea of an art exhibition as a conceptual poem.
She hosted an open conversation with a group of poets and artists on the entanglement between the textual and visual within an artwork and is the curator of the group exhibition artwords.
