Jenna Fernandez joins Tapestry of Voices for the first time this year, contributing a fresh and deeply personal perspective to this community-wide Juneteenth celebration. The exhibit, spanning San Mateo County, East Palo Alto, and Palo Alto, highlights how art serves as a bridge across cultures and a vessel for shared stories. Jenna’s work explores themes of nature, animal life, and the inherent dignity of all beings. With vivid color and expressive form, her pieces speak to compassion, equality, and liberation. She is a passionate advocate for the recognition and preservation of Juneteenth’s historical significance, firmly believing it must never be erased or forgotten.  Jenna resides in Columbus Ohio & enjoys documentary style photography of animals & nature.
