JEANNE BRASILE
Jeanne Brasile is an artist, curator, art writer, and yoga instructor based in New Jersey. She attended Ramapo College of New Jersey where she earned a Bachelor Degree with concentrations in Art History and Visual Art.
As a graduate student, she studied abroad in Amsterdam and Italy which heightened her interest in language and transmission of ideas and information. In her final semester of graduate school before earning her M.A. in Museum Studies at Seton Hall University, she secured her first job as a curator. This position suited her interdisciplinary tendencies and inquisitive nature and became a critical counterpart to her art and writing. Brasile’s art has been exhibited in The Newark Museum, The Montclair Art Museum, The Mattatuck Art Museum and 14C Art Fair among other venues. Her writing has appeared in The Brooklyn Rail, NJ Arts Daily, AS | Mag and Art Spiel. She envisions both the studio and gallery as laboratories for learning. She can often be found outdoors hiking, observing nature, collecting curiosities, or peering through a microscope to find new inspiration.
