Jaz Graf's recent body of work juxtaposes synthetic and raw materials, the virtual gaze with organic imprints, and satellite imagery with dust. It sets in motion, a contemporary discourse around intergenerational memory and cultural preservation. Graf exhibits locally and internationally, most recently featured at The Newark Museum of Art, NJ and published in the peer-reviewed journal, Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas. Her work has appeared in AM New York News, The Jersey Journal, World Literature Today and on NJ PBS Television Network.
Graf is the recipient of a West Bay View Foundation Fellowship at Dieu Donné, Brooklyn, NY, two Newark Creative Catalyst Grants, NJ, and a Civil Society Institute Fellowship, VT among others. She has recently served on the Exhibitions Committee of the North American Hand Papermakers. She is former Vice President of Manhattan Graphics Center, a fine art print shop in New York City, and Board Member of ProArts Hudson County. Jaz holds a Master of Arts degree in Studio Art Printmaking from the University of Notre Dame and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Printmedia from the University of Iowa.
