Paintings by Trinity Faculty Member Featured in Two-Person Exhibition in Connecticut

Paintings by Visiting Assistant Professor of Fine Arts Jenny Wu are part of a two-person exhibition opening at the Windsor Art Center in Windsor, Connecticut, this fall.

Reverberations: Reaching Beyond Boundaries features Paola Bari, a porcelain artist, and Wu, a painter. The exhibition is open from November 14, 2026, through January 2, 2027.

Reverberations asks the question, “Who are we when we push beyond the boundaries of what seems possible?” Playing with the limitations of their media, the artists each transform the materials they use to provide new context and invite users to question their own perceptions.

An opening reception will be held on Saturday, November 14, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. At a free artist talk on Sunday, November 22, at 2:00 p.m., artist and Trinity alumna Dana Simmons ’06 will discuss with Wu and Bari their creative processes and material challenges. The Windsor Art Center is located at 40 Mechanic Street in Windsor, Connecticut.

In addition to her position at Trinity, Wu is the chair of Touchstone Foundation for the Arts in Washington, D.C.

Wu’s work acknowledges the sensational and perceptual properties of materiality and then transforms the materials from their original forms and purpose to present them within new contexts. Her work has been reviewed by The Washington Post and has been exhibited in galleries and museums including Denise Bibro Fine Art, Katzen Museum, Huntington Museum of Art, Reece Museum, Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania, and CICA Museum in South Korea.

Wu was born in Nanjing, China. She holds a B.A. from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in studio art as well as in architectural studies, and an M.F.A. in studio art from American University. She is represented by Morton Fine Art, and her works are in the permanent collections of Flamboyan Foundation, University of Maryland, College Park, Boston Consulting Group, Chautauqua Institution, DC Art Bank, and Hobart and William Smith Colleges, among others.

Wu has participated in numerous artist-in-residence programs across the country and has been awarded fellowships from Vermont Studio Center and funding from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation to attend the Woodstock Byrdcliffe residency.
