Jen Morrison

Advanced Diploma
2025

Jen (zhi/zhir) is a multidisciplinary visual artist and graphic designer based out of Mississauga, Ontario. Despite growing up in a family full of artists, artistry was never something Jen considered with any seriousness as a full-blown career, though zhi dabbled in freelance work for many years. The Universe had other ideas; the sudden loss of zhir father in February 2021 sparked an urge to embrace the pursuit of a life that zhi would find fulfilling and more accommodating of zhir disabilities. Drawing inspiration from social justice issues, life experience and a lifelong love of horror and the occult, and fueled by energy drinks, spite and zhir father's spirit influence, J's work explores the intersections of identity, community and resistance through analog and digital media. An Advanced Diploma graduate of Visual and Creative Arts at Sheridan College, J continues to expand and refine zhir practice with a focus on accessible and impactful graphic design work.
