Jenna Garrett is an artist living in San Francisco, California, USA. Her current practice focuses on the Ozarks in southwest Missouri where she was born. Garrett is interested in nationalism, mythmaking, and its consequences in American culture.
Her project This Holy Hill (2016-2022) wrestles with Garrett’s Evangelical upbringing by examining the religion’s influence in the rural tourist town of Branson, Missouri. Her current project Teeth of the Wolf (2019-present) traces an obscure group of post-Civil War vigilantes as a method to investigate militia violence in the United States today.
Garrett is an Aperture Portfolio Prize Longlist recipient 2024, PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant Shortlist recipient 2024, Silver Eye Fellowship Award Honoree 2022, and CATALYST mentee 2020-21.
