Jenny Sharaf is a multidisciplinary artist, and, by definition, an "it" girl in the art world. I fell in love with her work at the 2023 FOG Art Fair in San Francisco, in which Jenny took over the entire entrance with her very Californian psychedelic dreamscapes entitled “Elevated Conversation,” covering the place in large scale paintings and custom painted furniture. My personal favorite touch of that exhibit was her ceramic dinner plates. I finally had the opportunity to ask her all the questions I’ve always dreamt about asking, although I may have seemed very uncool in the heat of the moment. Here is the moment. She is the moment. And alas, my obsession with everything Jenny will soon become yours.
