2026
Brooklyn-based artist Jacquelyn Strycker works across printmaking, collage, and fiber-based media to make objects that blur the boundary between the handmade and the mechanical. Drawing from domestic interiors—vintage wallpapers, quilt patterns, and ornamental architecture—she uses printmaking as both tool and subject: technology repurposed to examine tensions between handicraft and industrial production. Her collages and soft sculptures take the form of quilts and textiles while refusing their utility.
Strycker is an adjunct assistant professor at Pratt Institute, where she teaches Light, Color, and Design to first-year undergraduates and printmaking to high school students through the Pratt Young Scholars/DICE program. She is also on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts, where she works with senior thesis and graduate students in the BFA Fine Arts and MFA Art Practice programs. Across these levels, she treats material process as inquiry, connecting making and material exploration to the conceptual questions that drive her own work.
Strycker holds a BA from Columbia University and an MFA from Tyler School of Art and Architecture. Recent exhibitions include Kathryn Markel Fine Arts (New York), the Weatherspoon Art Museum (Greensboro, North Carolina), Positive Space (Tulsa), and Hunterdon Art Museum (Clinton, New Jersey). Her work is in the collections of the New York Public Library and Memorial Sloan Kettering. She has been an artist-in-residence at the Museum of Arts and Design and the Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University, and is a 2026 NYFA Printmaking Fellow, a 2024 NYFA Painting Finalist, and a member of the inaugural New Voices Cohort at Print Center New York (2023).
