Anita Jung is a Professor in the Department of Printmaking at the University of Iowa. Her work explores transformative beauty in discarded materials, blending digital technologies with tactile analog methods. Influenced by Buddhist philosophy, her art examines impermanence, silence, and the space between existence and nothingness. She holds a BFA from Arizona State University and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Key research interests include repurposed surfaces, plant-based pigment creation, and the intersection of technology and ephemera. Her practice incorporates found objects and hybrid printing processes, creating layered introspections on human constructs and environmental themes.
Notable exhibitions include Hybridity (2024), The Disappearing Birds of North America (2023), and an international traveling exhibition Thinking of Place iii (2021–2023). She has received major grants and residencies, including the 2022 Fulbright-Nehru Fellowship, which reshaped her focus toward cross-cultural material investigations.
