Jenny Smith is a painter, sculptor and interactive-engagement artist. From a blue collar upbringing steeped in poetry, she won the Royal British Columbia Museum’s writing contest on Leonardo Da Vinci’s art and her paintings have been featured in multiple literary journals including on the cover of Room Magazine. After giving birth to her second child she shifted her practice to sculpture, which occasionally transmutes into interactive-engagement pieces that welcome the co-creation of both people and natural forces. In 2021 her interactive-engagement sculpture ‘In Your Hands’ was installed on the West Vancouver waterfront for the summer. Following that she acted as a Juror for the West Vancouver Arts Council and gave an artist talk for ArtMania. In 2023 she engaged hundreds of Pender Island residents in a community art project themed upon the inner child. She has a group show forthcoming at the Michael Wright Gallery and is currently working on an artist’s book.
