Jenny Meehan aka jennyjimjam
Artist – Writer
Jenny Meehan is based in London, UK.
Posts on this Artist’s Journal/blog show up in a long string of consecutive posts! I post approximately once every two months. This is an artist writer project in it’s own right. I use this blog as an art journal and tool in the development of my creative direction.
As an abstract artist with an expressionist and romantic orientation, most of my creative engagement may most easily be considered (above other contexts), autobiographical. Indeed, I seek to emphasise this dimension to my work partly through the writing of my Artist’s Journal.
Through this Art Journal’s pages I hope to offer a personal context, and therefore also to provide insight into some of the meanings my visual art working has to me. By integrating my own voice and experiences within the material I share over the internet (alongside of my visual art), I trust anyone interested may find their enjoyment and understanding enhanced if they wish to find out more about what motivates my creativity and the work which comes from it. I also use this journal for my own purposes as it helps me very much in the development of my thinking and practice! My engagement in personal psychotherapy since 2011 plays a vital role in my art, both written and visual.

An Online Vigil; “Watch and Pray” Violence Video Poem by Artist/ Writer Jenny Meehan
I created this video poem over March 2021.
©Jenny Meehan
My understanding of a vigil is that it might be a place where we stand together, and draw our attention to the shared experience of gender based violence.

I’m also a trained Spiritual Director working from within a Christian faith orientation. I would describe myself as a progressive Christian. My community worship base is within the Church of England, of which I am a member.

“Simple Piece/Crossing Over” Painting by Jenny Meehan ©Jenny Meehan
I enjoy experimentation and constantly seek to extend my current knowledge and experience. I believe firmly in the value and beneficial function of the visual arts, both in the creation and reception of work, and strive to push creative boundaries.
I am particularly interested in the relationships between creativity, spirituality, and health and well being, and use both Christian contemplative practices and participation in regular psychoanalysis to inform the direction and development of my artistic practice.
Painting for me is an approach to life, not a particular medium. When I create with colour and geometry, (even if I’m not engaged in direct mark making or using physical surfaces), it’s a kind of prayer and intrinsically it’s a spiritual and emotional process. I’m led mainly by instinct, and my approach to life and nature is inspired to a large degree by my orientation as a contemplative, progressive thinking Christian.
I’m interested in imaginative exploration and experimentation, and this means that I make it part of my progress to try out different mediums and techniques. This results in a somewhat eclectic and diverse body of work ranging from video poems to sculpture.
I very much enjoy engaging with many varied aspects of society, cultural life, history, and issues which interest me. I adapt my approach accordingly. This versatility is a delight to me and I treasure the eclectic nature of my artistic practice as it appears to serve the useful purpose of creating numerous exciting creative possibilities. This keeps me motivated and helps my work progress. Its simply about experimentation and exploration in the end, and I keep that as my main aim.
