AMY JORGENSEN

Amy Jorgensen is an interdisciplinary artist whose diverse practice involves creating conceptual, immersive works that blend photography, performance and video. In the realization of her work, she mines historical and contemporary perspectives to explore alternate and intersecting narratives of the body, desire, violence and power.

Jorgensen was honored as one of Utah’s Most Influential Artists, she is a recipient of multiple fellowships and grants including a GSA grant and an Individual Artist Grant from the Utah Arts Council, and her work is included in public and private collections. Dedicated to the arts as a maker, facilitator and educator, she is currently the Executive Director and Chief Curator at Granary Arts and an Associate Professor of Visual Art at Snow College where she is head of photography.
