This residency series is an experimental program that invites artists early in their professional careers to UCCS to participate in a residency, solo-exhibition, and academic classes. F.E.A.R.S. is now a collaborative initiative between the UCCS Visual Arts Department (VAPA) and GOCA.
Jenny Irene Miller, Inupiaq, (b. Sitŋasuaq / Nome, Alaska, she/her and they/them) is an artist working primarily with photography. Her work focuses on identity, community, the familial archive, memory, and place. The poetics found in what is seen or refused in Jenny’s images make important contributions to her work. Jenny lives and works in Dgheyay Kaq' / Anchorage, Alaska.
Jenny holds an MFA in Photography from the University of New Mexico, a BFA in Photomedia and a BA in American Indian Studies from the University of Washington. She is a past Beaumont Newhall/Van Deren Coke Photography Fellow at UNM, SITE Santa Fe Scholar, Elizabeth Furber Fellow, and Fulbright Canada Killam Fellow.
