JENCHI WU

Jenchi Wu's introduction to clay in 1994 was a pivotal moment in her personal and professional journey. The texture and the fluidity of clay are reasons Wu continues to engage with the medium over three decades. Wu’s curiosity with how clay reacts to physical force and gravity is a constant presence in her creative process.

Born and raised in Taiwan, Wu moved to the United States in the 1990s and earned her MFA in 2025. Her work has been exhibited in US and internationally including Guilin Tourism University, Guangxi, China; The Frank M. Doyle Arts Pavilion, Costa Mesa CA; American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona CA; New Media Gallery, Ventura CA; Atkinson Gallery, Santa Barbara CA; and Ink & Clay, Kellogg University Art Gallery, Pomona CA. Her ceramics are held in the permanent collections of Westmount College and the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, Missouri. Wu currently teaches ceramics and sculpture at Ventura College and lives in Los Angeles with her family.
