Jack Michael teaches printmaking at Georgia State University. She is an interdisciplinary conceptual artist working in painting, textiles, sculpture, and printmaking. Jack’s current work probes notions of industry, capitalism, sustainability, & value from a lowbrow ecofeminist perspective. Through studies of consumer waste and acts of mending and ornamentation, she investigates the human domestication of wild environments and the industrial domestication of humans. She earned her B.A. in Art from Sewanee: The University of the South, with a focus on sculpture and documentary photography.

Before coming to Georgia State, Jack specialized in fine art and commercial printmaking in New York City, Chattanooga, and Atlanta. When not in the studio or classroom, she is often exploring America on her motorcycle through extensive solo treks, gathering imagery, trash, and research integral to her studio practice. Jack also nurtures a curatorial practice focusing on emerging artists, and guest teaches printmaking at independent schools and residency centers in Georgia and Arizona.
Her recent accolades include international coverage of a transnational weaving on the US-Mexico border fence; a month-long studio teaching residency at The Central School Project; dual-coast solo shows; numerous national group shows; a co-curatorial project featuring the work of Ghada Amer; and numerous merit-based project grants and awards.

In her spare time, Jack can be found nurturing her personal passions: sustainable farming, art criticism, rescue dogs, wilderness medicine and survival, and Romance languages.
