Bio:

Jenny Meyer-McCall’s work is intentionally nurturing and whimsical. Collaging two- and three-dimensional findings onto various surfaces, she creates texture, movement, and humor. Layers of vibrant acrylic paint and thick plaster make the work expressive. Hidden messages from her childhood sagas tell a private story within the abstract composition, while timeless themes and storybook morals make the finished piece universally compelling. Jenny's most current work focuses on patterns reminiscent of vintage floral wallpaper; exploring her role as a modern domestic through the layers of unique experiences that have shaped her. Jenny’s formal education is from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Fine Art, emphasis in painting. After college she returned to her hometown of Kansas City to start a career. Working as a faux painter, and then gallery manager at Sav- Art Gallery. Now, she is finally living her dream as a full-time fine artist, balancing being a mother of 3. Through these experiences she has had the opportunity to be flexible, explore current color trends as well as visual and textural patterns, learn and experiment with new mediums, and be true to her craft.
