Jennifer Ling Datchuk is an artist born in Warren, Ohio, and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She currently lives and works in San Antonio, Texas. Her mother immigrated to the United States from China in the early 1970s, while her father was born in Ohio to Eastern European and Russian immigrant parents. This layered and conflicted familial history has become a central source for her work. Trained in ceramics, Datchuk works primarily with porcelain, alongside materials traditionally associated with women’s labor, such as textiles and hair. Through these media, she explores themes of fragility, beauty, femininity, intersectionality, identity, and personal history. She holds an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a BFA from Kent State University. Datchuk has participated in numerous international residencies and received the Emerging Voices Award from the American Craft Council. She is currently an assistant professor of ceramics at Texas State University.
