Up In Smoke Painting

A brief biography: Meredith B. is a self-taught oil and acrylic painter who currently calls Indianapolis, Indiana home. While she was a casually artistic person her entire life, it wasn’t until 2015 that art became a more active pursuit. After facing the life changing diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis and a chemotherapy treatment that would last indefinitely, painting was like a long-lost friend that Meredith found strength and comfort in. Now, with her disease under control, Meredith finds inspiration in every beautiful aspect of her life: loved ones, music, fellow artists she admires, and the cities she has experienced through traveling. Her work will consistently play on elements of motion and texture to invoke an emotional response from viewers. Her styles range from impressionist, modern and abstract with a special talent for commissioned work unique to individual needs. “My hope is not be seen, but be experienced. With each new piece I share a little part of myself and I look forward to the day it makes an honest, emotional connection with another.” -Meredith B.
