Janis Stemmermann

Janis Stemmermann is a visual artist and designer whose interdisciplinary practice includes sculpture, textiles, ceramics and printmaking. Creating immersive environments of individual, modular works, Stemmermann explores how objects move between—and are recontextualized by—natural and domestic spaces.                                                                  

Stemmermann received a BFA in sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her work has been supported by the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the Vermont Studio Center, and the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig in Ireland. Janis is the Creative Director and master printmaker at Russell Janis, a Brooklyn-based project space, collaborating on multi-medium projects with various artists. She is currently the Chair of the Emily Mason and Alice Trumbull Foundation. Based in Brooklyn since 1988, she now divides her time between Williamsburg, Brooklyn and Sharon, Connecticut.
