A native of the Eastern Shore, Jenny O’Grady writes and makes book sculptures in Baltimore. She is the editor of UMBC Magazine. She taught book arts and electronic publishing as an adjunct professor in the University of Baltimore’s Creative Writing and Publishing Arts MFA program (2008-2012), where she earned her MFA in 2006. Previously, she worked as a community newspaper reporter, following in the footsteps of her mother, and also at a culinary school.
Halton grew up in a family of artists, including her maternal grandparents and mother. She remembers her early art-making as both a refuge and a way to make sense of the emotional vagaries of family life. During Halton’s years as an undergraduate she encountered the work of Jean Dubuffet. He was a seminal discovery for her, for his ability not only to access the dark side of inner life but also show us the humor in it.
I have worn many hats in my life, but currently I am working as a mother, farmer, and artist. Whenever I don't have a paintbrush in my hand I can usually be found playing outside with my children, weeding the garden, or rounding up chickens that interpret the term ‘free range’ too literally. I have done quite a few 'home portraits' of both contemporary and historic homes in Western Maryland, including Terra Angelica and Evergreen Estates. I also love painting landscapes, my neighbor's cows, garden produce, and my kids.
Some of my shots are obviously location-heavy, so beautiful that you point and shoot. Others less obvious, and some Photoshop'd (the truth of the subject retained). Now we have phones that can take amazing pictures: The challenge comes from picking the right subject.
