Jennifer Linton was born in North Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada in 1968. She attended the University of Toronto and Sheridan
College where she majored in graphic design and art and art history. Jennifer
Linton addresses cultural, social, and political issues in her artwork. She
illustrates in her artwork issues that depict gender and women experiences. Her
art also depicts her personal experiences and issues that are relevant in our
culture and society. Recently, Linton’s work focuses on pregnancy and
motherhood. As she becomes more focus on taking care of her child, she has
changed and her artwork as well. Linton illustrates issues such as body image,
gender identity, and sexuality. The goal of Lincoln is to portray an honest view
of motherhood, something completely different from what is actually shown in
the media and from what people might believe in. This challenges some of the
views and values that people may have in reality in regards to motherhood and
art.
