Jeanine Hill is a bi-racial, multi-ethnic artist whose work seeks to synthesize the influences of race, identity, trauma, ancestry, and gender roles. Her forms embody notions of fragility, strength and courage through subtly postured sculptures. Hand-built ceramic works make up the core of Hill’s work, yet a myriad of materials and methods are employed to speak as vessels of meaning and voice. Jeanine comes from a long line of storytellers. Through her work she communes with ancestral and contemporary influences alike and melds them into tributes for the lineage of hand told histories.

Hill has taught and given lectures at many universities, art centers and residencies in the U.S. and abroad, most notably Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar, the Northern Clay Center, Rhodes College, Georgia State University, Augsburg College UNC Charlotte and most recently at Elon University.
