Jenny Scobel (born 1955) is an American painter who lives and works in New York City.
[4] Scobel makes portraits or figurative paintings of children and women that blend a scene of innocent-like faces with images that suggest an underlying dark or disturbing story.
[5] Raphael Rubinstein of Art In America said "Scobel is an artist whose attention to detail reaches manic (and sublime) proportions.
She poses her subjects - in this show, pensive young women - against wallpaper per whose intricate motifs would exhaust a less patient artist.
[13] In 2004, Scobel participated in the exhibition "Sagt holde Frauen: 15 zeitgenössische Kunstlerinnen und das Medium Zeichnung" at the Fridericianum in Kassel, Germany
