Jen Doolittle is a professional photographer, arts administrator, and artist with over a decade of experience in creative leadership, community engagement, and program development. She has always believed everyone is creative and that art has the power to heal. Jen fell in love with photography as a child, fascinated by her dad’s camera and the stories tucked inside family photo albums. Today, her work explores identity, memory, and emotion by transforming the familiar into something new. As she continues her BFA in Art Studio with a minor in Arts Leadership and Business, she has expanded her creative practice through drawing, painting, and collage, strengthening the creative and administrative foundations she brings to her work in community arts.

Besides her visual arts practice, Jen has a strong background in theater management and production, supporting and coordinating performances and staged readings that uplift local voices and unite people.

As Artistic Director of Open Arts Studio, she is committed to building a welcoming and accessible community arts hub where people of all ages and abilities can express themselves, learn, and connect through the joy of creating.
