I’m Jessie Meehan, a rigorously curious, self-taught artist living in rural Virginia, originally from Chicagoland. I work primarily in acrylics but explore a variety of mediums, cultivating creativity as a daily practice.

My work is inspired by nature, the subconscious, and an impulse to uncover or create rhythmic pattern. Learning through trial, error, and experimentation has led me to a diverse range of subjects and compositions.

Whether I’m working from photographs, life, or stream of consciousness, painting is a necessary form of expression. Each piece is deeply personal, yet I aim to create work that resonates with others who also seek meaning in the world around them.

In 2023, I took the exciting step of pursuing an associate degree in art to deepen my connection to art, the world, and the creative process. This has been an energizing journey as I blend academic insights with my personal evolution as an artist and thinker. I’m grateful to have more tools and ideas to bring inspiration to life.
