Jennilie Brewster is an artist who works across disciplines, often exploring the connections between our inner and outer landscapes. Her visual art has been shown widely. Her essays have appeared on Catapult and theThe Rumpus.
She collaborates with other artists, film teams, and community-based organizations to use art as a tool for advocacy.
In 2016 she launched the disability justice-and-arts organization OPEN DOORS NYC. This work led her to produce the award-winning documentary film and New York Times Critic’s PickFire Through Dry Grass (PBS/POV 2023).
Jennilie grew up on a farm in Maryland, lived in NYC for 20+ years, and is now based in Ithaca—where she’s writing a book about landscape, art, and trauma.
