My work explores the fluidity of identity and the resilience of human experience. I find meaning in form, texture, and everyday found objects—dirt, tile, fiber, toys, and nature. The materials are processed through layering, breaking, and rebuilding found and applied color. I create forms and paintings that shift and evolve based on point-of-view and environment. I shift between control and release, structure and improvisation, reflecting the ways we navigate personal identity, caregiving, and community.

Jenny Snaza is a visual artist and educator based in Reno, Nevada Her work explores themes of identity, motherhood, transience, and visibility. She creates bold mixed media wall sculptures and ceramic paintings that layer texture, color, and line to evoke the shifting complexity of the human experience. Through these works, the body emerges as both subject and metaphor — a vessel of memory, transformation, and resilience.

She holds a Bachelors of Art in Visual Arts and French Language and Literature from Seattle University and a Masters in Teaching Secondary Visual Art from Sierra Nevada University. Her work has been shown nationally in both solo and group exhibitions. CV
