Jennifer Chenoweth

Jennifer Chenoweth is a visual artist and entrepreneur who creates art that explores the emotional life of communities. She is best known for her project, the XYZ Atlas, which is a “hedonic map” that shows the feelings and experiences of people in Austin, Texas. By asking residents where they had their most significant emotional moments, she created a unique visual map of the city’s heart and soul. Jennifer believes that art can be a powerful tool for social change and connection. Her projects often blur the lines between art and data, using community input to create pieces that have both beauty and meaning. Her work has expanded beyond Austin to include projects in places like Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, where she worked with residents to highlight the town’s beauty and history. Today, Jennifer continues to create art and works as a consultant, helping other organizations and communities use art for social good. Her unique approach, which combines visual design with community engagement, allows her to transform personal stories and data into art that inspires and connects people.
