Jen P. Harris (b. Virginia, United States) is a process-driven artist working with painting, drawing, textiles, and installation. Recent works combine weaving and painting to form hybrid objects that question the conventions of both mediums.

Their work has been the subject many exhibitions throughout the US, garnering press in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, CultureCatch, VelvetPark, The Korea Times (Los Angeles), and The Plain Dealer (Cleveland). Recent shows include Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn), Abigail Ogilvy (Los Angeles), Abattoir (Cleveland), and LADIES’ ROOM (Los Angeles).
Harris is the recipient of a 2012 Fellowship in Painting from the New York Foundation for the Arts (New York, NY), a 2023 Satellite Fund Grant from SPACES (Cleveland), and grants from the Puffin Foundation, Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, Ohio Arts Council, and Iowa Arts Council. She has been artist-in-residence at Praxis Digital Weaving Lab, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Women’s Studio Workshop, and Vermont Studio Center, among others.
