After graduating from the School of Visual Arts in 1994, Miller began performing at Faceboy's Open Mic Night at Collective:Unconscious, then located on Avenue B in Manhattan's East Village. When Faceboy's show moved to Surf Reality, he suggested Miller host an open mic at Collective:Unconscious, which was reopening on Ludlow Street. Together, Faceboy and Jen created the weekly Wednesday night "Anti-Slam", which Miller hosted.[5] Unlike poetry slams where poets are judged on a scale of one to ten, every performer at the Anti-Slam got a ten, referring to every performer as an Art Star. Jen hosted the show at the Ludlow Street location until Collective lost its lease in 2005, after which she continued to host it at the Collective Tribeca location followed by several other locations including Cake Shop, Mo Pitkins and Bowery Poetry Club.
Throughout the nineties, Miller collaborated with other performers. She was a cast member of Toolz of the New School, a cable access comedy show where she often appeared as Doo-Doo, the fifth teletubby.[6] She also performed in Surf Reality's "Grindhouse" shows and at Luna Lounge's "Eating It" comedy show. At this time, she also began making handmade books, including Sex Symbol for the Insane', which she sold at Printed Matter.[7]
Miller has written multiple books such as Elf Girl (Simon & Schuster, 2011), Live Nude Elf(Soft Skull Press, 2009) and Reverend Jen's Really Cool Neighborhood. For several years, Jen played Electra Elf in The Adventures of Electra Elf and Fluffer, a low budgetPublic-access television show she wrote and produced along with Nick Zedd.[8]
She has also acted as the founder for several projects, such as the magazine Art Star Scene and ASS Studios,[9] which she co-founded with Courtney Sell. ASS Studios produced several movies including the feature-length, Satan Hold My Hand, which Jen wrote and starred in.
In 2000, Jen founded Reverend Jen's Lower East Side Troll Museum, a museum dedicated to the Troll doll, which she ran out of her apartment until 2016.[10]
Today, Jen lives in Brooklyn where she paints full-time and continues to exhibit her work. Her most recent solo show, Divine Discontent, which opened at Dollhaus II in 2021, featured over 30 paintings.
