Jenny Smith is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on community-engagement. From a blue collar upbringing steeped in poetry, she was a winner of 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.  Most recently, her public engagement multimedia sculpture, 'Cyber Tree' that explored the entanglement we have with AI and technology which was installed at Maffeo Sutton Park for Nanaimo's 150th anniversary.
