Jaynie Crimmins

Jaynie Gillman Crimmins is a New York City–based artist who transforms mass marketing catalogs, magazines, and security envelopes into intricate, hand-constructed works. By dismantling and reassembling these materials, she reimagines everyday printed matter as new visual narratives, exploring themes of communication and cultural memory.

Her work has been featured at ART on PAPER NYC and exhibited internationally at the Sharjah Museum of Art during the Islamic Arts Festival in the United Arab Emirates as well as at the National Museum of Romanian Literature. Nationally, her work has been shown at the SPRING/BREAK Art Show and Governor’s Island Art Fair . Museum exhibitions include the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William and Mary (VA); Hudson Valley Museum of Contemporary Art (HVMOCA), Peekskill, NY; Steinberg Museum of Art at LIU/Post, Greenvale, NY; Hunterdon Art Museum, NJ; Zuckerman Museum of Art, Kennesaw State University, GA; and the Alexandria Museum of Art, LA.

She is represented by Thomas Deans Fine Art in Atlanta, GA, and exhibits with Elza Kayal Gallery in New York City.

Crimmins has a long history of community work. Prior to the pandemic, she was volunteering in the Guggenheim Museum’s Learning Through Art Program. She is currently volunteering to help people seeking asylum.
