We are heartbroken to share the passing of Jenny I We are heartbroken to share the passing of Jenny Irene Miller @jennyirenestudio (Wiagañmiu), a beloved member of the UNM Department of Art: Studio, History & Education community. Jenny earned their MFA in Studio Art, Photography at the University of New Mexico, where they made a profound impact on faculty, staff, peers, and students alike. During their time at UNM, Jenny was a brilliant artist, a dedicated educator, and a fierce advocate for Indigenous rights, Native Feminism, Photography, and Native Art History. Their work was rooted in love—for family, kinship, and the land. Through powerful storytelling and imagery, Jenny consistently centered Alaska, grounding their artistic practice in beauty, intellect, and care. We are deeply saddened by this immense loss and extend our heartfelt condolences to Jenny’s family, friends, and community. We remain profoundly grateful for the time, vision, and spirit Jenny shared with all of us ❤️❤️❤️ A GoFundMe has been created to support Jenny’s family during this time: gofund.me/5fe42919 📷: 1.
