Jacquelyn Strycker

Jacquelyn Strycker works primarily in printmaking, collage, and fibers-based media. Drawing on quilt making, geometric abstraction, and the 1970s Pattern and Decoration movement, she creates unabashedly maximalist, fluorescent works that embody the pleasures of color, pattern, and craft.  While at MAD, she’ll be working on a risograph printer, making prints from her drawings that she tiles, cuts up, reconfigures, collages, and sews into larger pieces.

Strycker has a BA from Columbia University and an MFA from Tyler School of Art. She is presently a faculty member at Pratt Institute and a faculty member and the Director of Operations and Online Curriculum of the MFA Art Practice department at the School of Visual Arts. Her work has recently been exhibited at Print Center New York; Weatherpoon Museum, Greensboro, NC; Kunstraum Gallery, Brooklyn; Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, Solomons, MD; Peep Space, Tarrytown, NY; Collar Works, Troy, NY; and Piano Craft Gallery, Boston; She has participated in residencies at Institute for Electronic Arts, Alfred, ArtPod Berlin, Gaia Studio, The Women’s Studio Workshop and the Vermont Studio Center, and is a member of the inaugural cohort of the Print Center New York’s New Voices program. She is a 2023 Queens Art Fund grant recipient.
