Artist's Statement
by Jenn Myer

I consider my self to be a life long student of Art. My teaching, parenting, paintings, collages are all strong components of my portfolio. I think teaching Art is one of the most honorable positions. I like facilitating others with their ideas as it allows me to expand on my own ideas. When many of my students begin, they are obsessed with perfection in their work. They want to quit the project when paint gets dripped on it. I love the imperfections in their work and in my own. I think it is good to see the artist's hand in the work. Art encompasses so many things. It is investigation, design, presentation, and meditation. Since my daughter, Eleanor, was born two and half years ago I have become more disciplined in my practice of Art. For the past few years I have been developing collages based on found materials, and repurposing old paintings. I still enjoy painting from a still life. I often start out really focused on the object or idea and then I allow my mind to wander and develop patterns and colors that are not really there.
