Marilynn Jennings: Dreams, Myth, and Material
Her paintings and prints often evoke figures, symbols, and textured fields that feel both personal and universal. Influenced by Jungian psychology and dream imagery, Jennings’ work explores the mysterious terrain of the personal and collective unconscious, inviting viewers to slow down and engage with their own internal responses.
Marilynn Jennings is a multimedia artist working in printmaking, painting, and fused glass, guided by a lifelong exploration of dreams, myth, and the inner landscape. Her abstract work translates fluidly across all three mediums, using color, pattern, and layered surfaces to suggest emotion, memory, and archetypal presence rather than literal narrative.
“I paint my own day. Events are my palette. My soul is my brush.”
In fused glass, translucency and light become essential elements. Jennings pushes the medium beyond the purely functional, creating wall works and sculptural pieces that often incorporate wood or metal. Printmaking and glass frequently appear in dialogue, reinforcing themes of layering, transparency, and transformation.
Jennings grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona, earned her undergraduate degree at Arizona State University, and later completed a master’s degree in counseling psychology at California State University, Chico. Alongside a decades-long career as a licensed psychotherapist, she has maintained a professional art practice for more than 30 years. Her work has been exhibited nationally in galleries and juried exhibitions across the Southwest and beyond, and she has collaborated with architects and interior designers on both public and private projects.
Now based in Santa Fe, Jennings draws inspiration from the high desert’s open skies and expansive landscape. Active in the local arts community, she is a member of New Mexico Women in the Arts and is New Mexico True Certified. As she writes, “I paint my own day. Events are my palette. My soul is my brush.” Her work invites viewers into a contemplative space—one where personal meaning quietly unfolds.
