Jennett (sometimes Jennet) Brinsmade Lam (1911–1985)[note 1] was an American painter.
Lam was born in Ansonia, Connecticut, and studied with Josef Albers[1] at Yale University, receiving both her Bachelor of Fine Arts and her Master of Fine Arts degrees from that institution, in 1954 and 1960 respectively.[2] She taught for many years at the University of Bridgeport, eventually being named professor emerita before retiring in 1972.[1] During her career she received a fellowship to the MacDowell Colony in 1960 and 1961.[2] She exhibited widely during her career in the United States and abroad.[1] Lam's work may be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art,[3] the Whitney Museum of American Art,[4] and the Brooklyn Museum.[5] A collection of her papers is held by the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution.[6]
