About the Artist
Meredith grew up in a military family surrounded by the art and architecture of foreign countries. From an early age, she was singled out by teachers and peers as a creative, artistic type. She attended art schools in Munich, Florence and London before graduating from the University of Arizona with degrees in the Fine Arts and Art History. She has been teaching art in Tucson for 15 years. Her approach to art is eclectic, sourcing material from her interest in the natural environment and psychology. Her current project, Trash To Treasure, contains paintings and collages of both cherished and discarded items collected from the different locations she inhabits.
About the Process
Virtual Studio Tour
I take a walk around the neighborhood, picking up interesting items as I go, then I take the collection and arrange it intuitively and spontaneously.
I trace and paint it onto a canvas, then flip the composition and transfer and paint again to make a mirror image.
I develop the painting further, adding a smaller "mouthpiece" to the bottom, then I punch the whole composition up by adding a strong contrast background. This is one in the Tracing Faces sub-series of the Trash To Treasure ongoing project.
