Del. Artist Jennifer Hintz Eggers Explores Motherhood, Nature In New Exhibit

Eggers’ display opens this Friday to the public.

WILMINGTON — Delaware artist Jennifer Hintz Eggers brings an intimate and visually rich exploration of motherhood, nature, and spirituality to the Delaware Division of the Arts’ Mezzanine Gallery with her solo exhibition.

Named “Seeds of Life,” The show opens Friday, June 6, with a public reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and will remain on view through July 25.

The exhibition features a series of collages and oil paintings that draw from Eggers’ personal experiences of early motherhood.

Her work fuses sacred geometry, branching organic lines, and floral forms inspired by the human body—what she calls “mammary flowers”—to reflect themes of growth, interconnectedness, and resilience.

Each piece is a “meditation” which involves layering translucent oil paints over intricate grids and interlocking circles.

These overlapping shapes—an ancient symbol of unity and continuity—guide viewers through an emotional and visual journey echoing natural cycles like cellular division and lunar phases.

A lifelong Delaware resident, Eggers earned her BFA in painting from the University of Delaware in 2008.

She is the founder of The Ladies’ Art House and maintains a studio at The Delaware Contemporary.

Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Susquehanna Art Museum and the University of Mary Washington.

In addition to her studio practice, she teaches at both the New Castle County Art Studio and Delaware Technical Community College.

The Mezzanine Gallery is located on the second floor of the Carvel State Office Building at 820 N. French Street in Wilmington. It is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The gallery regularly features Delaware’s Individual Artist Fellows.
