Jana Schumacher (*1983 in Bonn, Germany) focuses on drawing, print making and site specific installations. Since 2011, her works have been represented throughout Germany and at international exhibitions.

Schumacher communicates central themes such as order and chaos, the influence of change, cause and effect and connections between art and science. Her approach balances concrete composition with creative improvisation. Schumacher ultimately believes in the status of abstract drawing as an intuitively readable system, capable of describing existentially important things in our world. Since 2015 she is following annual invitations from universities and other institutions in the USA and Germany, where she is teaching traditional papermaking in collaboration with her partner Drew Matott. Schumacher lives and works in Hamburg, Germany.
