Jennifer Troice

Jennifer Troice is a Mexican-American bronze sculptor based in Dallas, Texas, whose work explores resilience, human connection, and the quiet strength people find in one another. Her artistic path began in high school at the American School Foundation in Mexico City, where she was named Artist of the Year following her first 23-piece installation. She went on to study at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston-focusing on printmaking, welding, casting, and figure drawing-and later earned a degree in psychology from Universidad lberoamericana. Sculpture became central to Troice's life at seventeen, after surviving a traumatic kidnapping in Mexico City. Art became her way to process what she could not yet articulate in words, piece by piece rebuilding internal order through form. Over two decades, that deeply personal beginning transformed into a visual language grounded in simplicity, gesture, and emotional clarity-one that invites viewers to project their own stories and find connection through minimalist form.

At 22, Troice received her first public commission: Imagen, a monumental bronze sculpture permanently installed in the lobby of the ABC Hospital Oncology Ward in Mexico City. In 2011, she debuted In the Depth, a marine-inspired collection filling a corporate penthouse with sand and aquariums to create an immersive environment.

Major works since then include The Tree of Life (2013), installed with a crane at ABC Hospital; Unity Makes Strength(2017), for a corporate campus; and The Family (2013) and The Hug (2014) for private collections. In 2019, she created eight life-size bronze sculptures for a public park in Veracruz, Mexico, celebrating human connection and face-to-face interaction in outdoor public space. In 2022, she published a coffee-table book about her work, My Silver Lining: Healing Through Art, which won the NYC Big Book Awards in two categories. In 2025, she was selected as a finalist for the Harriet Tubman Elementary School public art commission in Washington, D.C.

Troice's sculptural practice is anchored in two distinct but complementary languages: smooth, abstract human silhouettes that express emotion through posture, weight, and relational distance; and geometric minimalism, a sculptural system she developed for animals and hybrid forms. Her work often encourages physical interaction-inviting people to sit, lean, touch, or gather around the pieces-creating moments of presence and human connection within public and private space.

After relocating to the United States and raising young children, Troice temporarily reduced her large-scale public output while continuing her studio practice. She is now fully resourced and actively pursuing new public art projects across the U.S. She is currently preparing to install her first life-size sculpture in Dallas in a private home.

In 2024, she launched Hope Foundry, a gallery and philanthropic platform that uses art to support mental health initiatives. Through Hope Foundry, donors can gift her Helping Hands sculptures to individuals undergoing profound emotional or psychological hardship and 100% of the proceeds are donated to Hope Foundry's affiliated charities. Jennifer also leads immersive sensory storytelling experiences that foster empathy and human connection. She continues to speak, exhibit, and create work that bridges art, healing, and the universal need for connection.
