Artist and Cultural Consultant

Teresa Jaynes partners with museums, academic institutions, cultural organizations, and environmental education centers to develop projects from the ground up. Projects are shaped by the new knowledge and creative practice that emerges through integrative thinking and interdisciplinary collaboration. Her work centers on artist and community led initiatives that connect art, public history, and social change — most recently realized in Lenapehoking~Watershed, a collaboration between art professionals and environmental education leaders.

For more than two decades, she has led cross-disciplinary projects in collaboration with artists, scholars, and community partners, with a focus on initiatives that don't fit neatly into a single institution or discipline.
