Jenny Drumgoole is a multimedia artist, based out of Philadelphia, PA, who works in both video and performance, as well as photography. Many of her videos include her taking part in competitions such as "The Real Women of Philadelphia" or The Wing Bowl, as well as performing as one of her personas, Soxx and many other heightened versions of herself. After spending a lot of time making photographs, she made a switch over to video and performance work. Her first video she made, Wing Bowl 13, started as a photo project where she was photographing competitive eater, Sonya Thomas, at the Wing Bowl in 2005. She found that the sounds that are able to be included into a video, heighten the experience.
In March of 2010, Kraft Foods started a competition called "Real Women of Philadelphia", which had women from across the United States submit recipes, as well as cooking videos, with all the recipes including Philadelphia Cream Cheese. The competition was hosted by Food Network Personality and Celebrity Chef, Paula Deen. Drumgoole's mother is a long time Paula Deen fan, so she joined the competition to try and get her mother's cookbooks signed by Paula Deen. Through 8 weeks, she made weekly videos, which gained attention from other contestants, as well as Deen, herself. She would have reoccurring references to action character John Rambo and hair flipping through the series.
Early life and education
editBarney was born Tina Isles,[1] one of three children of Philip Henry Isles (1912–1989) and his wife 1940s fashion model Lillian Fox. Her parents later divorced and her mother remarried to writer Stephane Groueff. Her great-grandfather was Emanuel Lehman, co-founder of Lehman Brothers. She was introduced to photography by her grandfather when she was a child. As a teenager, she studied Art History at Spence School in Manhattan, and at the age of 19, she lived in Italy for a time where she was able to further study art.[2] Barney first got involved with photography, when she was asked to volunteer for the Junior Council of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, around 1971, working in the photography department and cataloguing work for a show. She started to collect photographs and go to different galleries, to educate herself on the medium. After moving to Sun Valley, Idaho in 1973, she started to take photography classes as a hobby. [3] While in Idaho, she studied at the Sun Valley Center for Arts and Humanities in Ketchum, from 1976 to 1979.[4] Additionally, she has completed workshops with Frederick Sommer, Roger Mertin, Joyce Niemanas, Duane Michals, Nathan Lyons, John Pfahl, and Robert Cumming.[4]

How did you become involved with photography?" "A friend asked me to volunteer for the Junior Council of the museum of Modern Art in New York. The first project they gave me was to go to the photography department and catalogue photographs for a show. This was in 1971 or 1972. I had never heard of Ansel Adams or really looked at any art photography before, and I became totally enamored of photography. I started collecting it because you could buy photographs for very little money then. So I educated myself by going to the different galleries. My family and I decided to move to Sun Valley, Idaho in 1973. After living there for about a month, I found an art center with wonderful photography department, and started taking classes as a hobby. I was about twenty-eight years old, and had been married for eight years, with two little kids. I worked and learned how to print for about a year when a friend of mine said, 'you know, these are really good. You should have a show with me.' but I never took myself seriously because my standards were so high. And that's how it really all began.
