Jennifer Williams primarily uses photography in the creation of her work. By exposing commonalities between her intimate relationships to space and place, and the experience of others within the same circumstances, she documents the condition of familiarity and transience. She has always worked in one way or another with multiple images to "build" spaces, offering a sort of cultural geography. Much of her work addresses the mobility inherent in urbanity and focuses on the objects people choose to keep with/around themselves, choices that lend cognizance to modern living.

Williams' work has been shown in Europe and New York. Currently her focus is on creating ongoing web-based projects. Several of these revolve around documenting the Lower East Side of Manhattan during its recent past and present forms. In addition, she and artist Betsy Heistand are co-authors of a multimedia project called Radon Projects, in which other artists are invited to participate with them on art, music and video ventures.

Jennifer received a BFA from The Cooper Union School of Art in 1994, and a MFA from Goldsmiths College, London, England, in 1997. She has worked in the photography department of the Cooper Union School of Art in various capacities since 1999, most recently teaching Alternative Processes/Large-scale Printing and co-teaching Digital Photography.
