Jennifer Goya makes video art, experimental oral history documentaries, websites, and interactive media installations.  Simulations of “paradise” recur throughout her body of work featuring familiar images of Hawaii.  Her on-going body of work is inspired by her time selling t-shirts as a teenager in Waikiki.
