Ringling College To Host Jenny Medved’s Art.
Jenny Medved (Class of 2004) is a figurative artist & illustrator based in Sarasota, Florida. Originally from Atlanta, Medved relocated to Florida in 2000 to attend Ringling College where she obtained her BFA in Illustration. Medved holds an MFA in Figurative Painting from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where she studied under Zack Zdrale, William Whitaker and Warren Chang. She also studied traditional portraiture at the Florence Academy of Art, in Florence, Italy. Medved’s meticulously crafted watercolors of Hawaiian and Polynesian dancers and Native Americans are part of an ongoing visual exploration of indigenous cultures prompted by the discovery of her own Native American roots.
In December of 2015, Medved was featured as one of ten artists to watch in Watercolor Artist Magazine. She is a member of Women Painters of the Southeast, American Women Artists, SartQ, the National Watercolor Society, Southern Watercolor Society, Florida Watercolor Society, and a signature member of the Florida Suncoast Watercolor Society. Her work has been included in numerous local and national exhibitions, and was selected for the Southern Watercolor Society’s 38th Annual Juried Exhibition at the Customs House Museum in Clarksville, Tennessee.
