I am an artist working with paper, metal, paint and digital photography. I am based in Surrey, in the United Kingdom. On the redbubble site I have a few examples of my digital art which is available for sale as greetings cards. If you are looking for something particular, do contact me. I do not put all my work up on this site.

I also have numbered and signed photographic prints available direct from me if you are looking for something bigger. Do have a look on my website; jennymeehan.co.uk to see more of my work. I am happy to consider producing commissioned work too.

From 2008 most of my creative energy goes into painting, so if you would like to see my recent work then do look on my website.

Artist’s Statement 2009

I have been creating two and three dimensional art since 2005. Art is about exploration. I view mine as a natural and evolving process which is primarily to do with the emotions and spirit, though I do enjoy playing with concepts too. My Christian faith, relationships, and artistic contemplation and production are the main driving forces in my life.

Trees and plants, metal objects, the human figure, and many different types of man- made constructions, are subject matter I favour. I like to explore different styles of expression using a range of media; primarily paint, photography, poetry, metal and paper. The brokenness of human experience fascinates me, but also the potential for growth and renewal. My work has a positive outlook, as I think that it is often through suffering, touched by God’s grace, that the beauty of the human soul is revealed. The idea of strength combined with vulnerability is particularly attractive to me.

My art is a sacramental practice, and the mystery of faith and its reality beyond our human rational mindset is something which interests me. I also see my work as an articulation of fragmentary experience; it’s how I make sense of the world. Alongside my general fine art practice I am interested in liturgical art using a variety of media. Since 2008 I have put most of my creative energies into developing my skills with paint, which I love. Intensely.
