"A native of Jonesboro, Arkansas, and a graduate of the Memphis College of Art, Jeni Stallings creates work that often draws from her dreams and personal experiences. She tends to render those moments in a muted, femininity-infused surrealism far from the hard-edged style of notable Surrealists like Salvador Dali. With their layers of beeswax sealing a moment into memory, her paintings draw from a lexicon melding dreamwork with a touch of Southern eccentricity." --Felicia Feaster, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, September 2021 "I guess you could call me a storyteller who seals her thoughts and dreams in wax." Jeni Stallings creates her lyrical, dreamy paintings using the ancient encaustic technique that entails heating beeswax to coat the painting’s surface. Her works hang in collections throughout the United States and elsewhere. Jeni Stallings presently lives with her husband and son in Atlanta, Georgia. "I guess you could call me a storyteller who seals her thoughts and dreams in wax."

The Masque of Comus
Located in Atlanta, GA
"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment.
A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland. The paintings are, in the end, meditations on the relationship between the protagonists in a wordless drama. In my paintings, I use a cold wax medium combined with dry pigments, oil paint, and embedded fragments of burlap. The surfaces eventually build up into a dense, rugged terrain."
