Mary Jo Karimnia is an artist, former Artist Residency Director, and curator based in Memphis, TN. She founded and runs The Studiohouse on Malvern which includes the Front Porch Window Gallery.

Karimnia builds rich collaged surfaces with vintage and contemporary images, glass beads, foil and velvety flocking to produce an enhanced and often idyllic view. She experiments with materials using them in unconventional ways, honing her craft to a sophisticated level. Her subject matter asks questions of an idealized past and addresses images of self and a surreal sense of magic.
