| Meredith's landscapes are impressionistic. Her goal is to paint viable, honest paintings while preserving the vanishing landscapes on canvas, documenting the time in which she lives. Her still life paintings are an exploration of color, texture, and composition, conveying enthusiasm for the process. |
