As an Alaskan Native, Midwest-based Interdisciplinary Artist, D. Del Reverda-Jennings draws from a kaleidoscope of cultural nuance, experience, insight, and connection. Her visual research is a reflective interpretation of the feminine as a physical/spiritual entity that possesses the potential to be relevant, powerful, nurturing, limitless, while proudly baring the physical and emotional detritus bearing witness to life’s survival and ties to the past.

Each of these works are highly influenced by identity, women’s issues, colorism, social commentary, stereotypical assumptions, indigenous wisdom’s-folklore, ritual, myth, magic, ancestral memory and nature. The sensual, spiritual and the sacred manifest as material in the construct of her works.

Priyanka is a self-proclaimed art-obsessed hobby collector. If it’s visually creative, she’s probably dabbled in it. What started from her early beginnings exploring calligraphy, origami, card making, paper quilling, collages, oil pastels, and watercolors has now evolved into my journey of making glass art, oil paintings, linocut prints, handmade paper, polymer clay sculptures, mosaics, animations, stickers, magnets, and so much more! Priyanka loves diving into different materials and techniques to bring my colorful visions to life.
