Jenna Arnold

Jenna Arnold is a photographer, educator, and multi-disciplinary artist boasting two decades of expertise in the photography industry, both commercially and in the fine art sphere.

The core of Jenna’s artistic practice is rooted in the belief that art serves as a mirror, reflecting the inner elusive worlds of our being. Her work, whether it be through photography, drawing, painting, or mixed media textures is a collection of fragments from her personal narrative, capturing moments of introspection and vulnerability.

Motivated by the pursuit of beauty, Jenna’s work often originates from the subconscious, drawing inspiration from dreams or fleeting day visions.
