Bio

Jenna Short is an artist based In Victoria BC, who is currently studying Visual Arts at the University of Victoria in her undergrad. Jenna is an Indigenous artist from the Saik,uz First Nation located In Vanderhoof BC. She grew up in Prince George BC for the beginning part of her childhood before relocating to Victoria. She has always felt connected to the land and grew up playing in the nearby forests. The Forests became a grounding place and began to inform her art practice. Through feeling connected to the land but not knowing where she belongs she was left with a fractured Identity. She often works with figurative and landscape subjects through oil painting, watercolour and wood carvings. Jenna’s solo exhibitions include: Swaying in the Still at The University of Victoria (2026); Untitled at the Habit cafe (2025). Other group shows: From the Livingroom (2025); Spillways (2025); ArtistTree (2025).
