artist bio

Jennifer Nguyen is a Wisconsin-based multimedia artist working across creative technologies, printmaking, and digital and traditional illustration. She is currently completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Nguyen’s interdisciplinary practice combines digital drawing, 3D modeling, pixel art, printmaking, game development, and more to explore virtual identities, digital fashion, and the ways technology can reshape human identity.

Her work draws from superhero and tokusatsu (Japanese live-action media using practical effects) media, horror video games, indie game development, and grotesque imagery, with influences including horror indie game developer Miro Haverinen. Through these interests, Nguyen explores how digital worlds and online communities influence identity, communication, and experiences of the world.

Nguyen’s work has been exhibited through the Wisconsin Regional STAMP Exhibit (2021–2022), UWM’s Art & Design First Year Experience Exhibition (2023), Art & Technology Night (2023–2026), Woven Images (2024), and the UWM Innovator’s Expo (2025–2026). She has also interned with Milwaukee-based fashion company Therese Marie Collection and currently works as a Production Artist for UWM Union Marketing.

Following graduation, Nguyen plans to begin developing an indie horror visual novel while pursuing freelance creative work in illustration, digital fashion, and game development. Her upcoming exhibitions include the 2026 Wisconsin Regional Artists Program (WRAP) and UWM’s 2026 Art & Technology Night, as she continues building her practice within the local art community.
