I’m Meredith (she/her). I  was born, raised, and currently reside in Brooklyn, NY. I’m an artist, licensed creative arts therapist, and art appreciator.

After receiving a BFA in Visual Arts Studies, the only career trajectory that made sense for me was to teach art in order to support my own art practice. I spent my first 5 years after college teaching art to children, adolescents, and adults in various capacities. It was in this role that I began to reframe my understanding of the creative process. 

I began to observe the impact of creative expression and the multitude of ways that these processes can support identity development, social-emotional growth, and overall well-being. My teaching approach became more open-ended. By simply introducing different materials and artistic processes to people in a safe, supportive and contained environment - the natural flow of creativity had more room to flourish.

Naturally, all this led me to the field of Art Therapy.

As an artist, my work has evolved quite a bit over the years. The work I’m currently making is largely informed by both my surroundings and my day dreams; what encompasses my daily life and what I fantasize about. My comforts and discomforts. Aesthetic curiosity, and interpretations of what I’m visually drawn to.  Memories that haunt and memories that bring me warmth. What I find myself creating are often a balance between what I see when looking outward and when I’m looking inward. These playful depictions of my inner and outer life ground me in the here and now and challenge me to be intentional in what I produce. 

My current focus is on an on-going series of hand-painted ceramic tiles and are varied in design, style and imagery. You can view selections from my portfolio here.
