Rural Folk:
Jenna is a mother of five, the creator of , and one half of .
When I asked what kind of work fills her hands most days, Jenna’s answer centred on motherhood.
“As much as my kids have grown and are all in school, you’d think a lot less of my time would be centred around motherhood. But even when they’re bigger, the tasks change, but how much you are needed stays the same. I am still a mother first and fitting my creative pursuits into the cracks surrounding motherhood.”
Her creative pursuits have inspired countless women. Through Homegrown, Jenna has created a space where rural women share recipes, skills, artwork, stories, and wisdom. Through photography, she helps families celebrate and find beauty in their everyday lives.
In these photos, Jenna is wearing The Alder Vest, Cropped in Peat, Size 1. Made from undyed wool grown on the Canadian Prairies and knit in my rural Alberta studio.
