Jennifer Kane

Jennifer Kane is an artist, arts advocate, and guide from Los Angeles, CA and currently resides in Joshua Tree. Through a multidisciplinary, adaptive art practice Ms. Kane creates opportunities for communities, both embedded and momentary, to gather in unexpected environments, inspiring a deeper understanding and reconnection to self, other, and place. She proudly served in Peace Corps Thailand from 2006-2008 where she helped create a teacher training program for Thai Teachers of English in Southern Thailand, putting her CA teaching credential work to the test. Since then, she has explored the possibilities of art and education in alternative environments, working as a naturalist and guide across California from 2008-2014.

In 2016, Kane received an MFA in Public Practice from Otis College of Art and Design. Currently she serves as the Executive Director of Arts Connection – the Arts Council of San Bernardino County. She is also a contributing writer to the Mojave Project and KCET Artbound. Her paintings are held in private collection across the United States, and she still spends part of every summer guiding mountain expeditions in the Sierra.
