MEIGHEN JACKSON
Painter and paper artist Meighen Jackson’s drawings move. Her lines climb, evolve, revolve and take some pretty explosive tumbles along the way. Beginning with waterfalls and churning rapids, they quickly enter that land between seeing and feeling, between the visual real and its abstracted essence.
Jackson draws in ink with an Asian brush on kozo (Japanese mulberry) paper, but her “eye” and her training are in the Western figurative and plein-air traditions. Thousands of 30 second gesture drawings, hundreds of figure studies and many hours hiking through woods and marshes are at the root of her organic imagery.
She earned a BFA from Michigan State University and MFA in Painting from the University of Cincinnati.
