BIOGRAPHY
Jennifer Patton is a Santa Cruz sculptor who spent years as a chemist and tech leader before trading the lab for the studio at 38. She still thinks like a scientist, but now she plays. Working from a studio above the Pacific Ocean, she hand sculpts wall pieces from coastal sand, metal and resin, then finishes them with real patinas and bold color. Her collections take on the natural world and the human experience. The work is joyful, a little cheeky and made to light up a room. Collectors come for the color and stay for the stories. Her sculptures live in private collections around the world.

STATEMENT
AI can generate a million images a second. It still can’t make copper turn green. The ‘Proof of Human’ Collection is my answer to the robots. Hot neon crashing into real metal patinas, small enough for any wall and loud enough to start a conversation. Let’s see a robot make a mess this beautiful.
