KJ Schumacher, Concise Bio
KJ Schumacher is a multidisciplinary artist working in Birmingham, AL. He received a
B.A. in Fine Art from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and
trained as a guest student at Parsons School of Design in Paris, France. He completed
an MFA from the Transart Institute (New York and Berlin) and Plymouth University (UK)
in 2016. Schumacher maintains adjunct faculty status at the University of North
Alabama in Florence, where he served as a curriculum designer and professor in
Foundation Drawing and Figure Drawing from August 2021 to May 2023. He previously

Visual Art. His work is included in collections throughout the Southeast and has been
exhibited in group and solo shows in Nashville, Los Angeles, London, New York, Berlin,
and Miami.
Schumacher’s praxis consists of making and collecting marks and objects, and re-
presenting them in made and found situations - inside and outside the studio. These
works elaborate on the studio process and build upon a belief that the physical mark
holds an intrinsic importance in human experience. Schumacher collects source
material from studio remnants and by way of a generative methodology of chance-
based selections.
