اسماء الجهني هي فنانة وباحثة سعودية مواليد عام 1988م، تحمل درجة الدكتوراة في الفن. تُعرف بدمجها بين التقنيات التقليدية والمعاصرة في فن النسيج، وتتأثر أعمالها الفنية بتجاربها خلال نشأتها في المدينة المنورة كمنطقة غنية بالعادات والتقاليد، حيث تستكشف العلاقة العميقة بين الهوية والتنّوع والاختلافات ضمن ثقافةً واحدة.
تعتمد الفنانة المقيمة في الرياض على النسيج بوصفه وسيلة تعبيرية لإيصال التجربة الإنسانية بشكل ملائم، حيث أن صناعة وحياكة النسيج تمر بمراحل عملية دقيقة تنتج عنها خامة متشابكة وقوية. ترى الفنانة أن عملية الحياكة تشبه إلى حد كبير الطريقة التي ينسج بها العقل العاطفة والمنطق لتشكيل الأفكار.
من معارضها المميزة معرض فردي في أمريكا عام 2015م، حيث استكشفت الفنانة مفاهيم الهوية والذات من خلال أعمال فنية لمنسوجات منفذة رقميًّا كما تستند على درجة الدكتوراه في الفنون من جامعة جدة لتطوير ممارساتها، حيث تدمج بين التكنولوجيا والمنسوجات لابتكار وسائل جديدة.
