Jeannie Driver works on innovative and challenging projects that directly engage with audiences, creating interventions and interactions where audience are renegotiated to participants or collaborators of the work. Projects collectively explore common situations and experiences. Works relate to peoples relationships to public space, private space, community space, architecture and issues. Works present open doors to new thoughts and experiences. This socially engaged practice spans a range of media and methodology including: discussion, workshop, text, photography, print, digital image, installation, data and events.

Her portfolio career involves working in a variety of genres including public art projects, galleries, local government partnerships, regeneration projects, youth arts, arts and health.
