A message from Meike: 

"Art has always been an integral part of my life. While growing up in Germany I was always creating something using a wide variety of materials. Creativity was considered a regular part of life and nothing special. It was just something we did. As a child, I made dolls including their accessories, knitted intricately patterned sweaters of my own design and drew the surrounding nature. Years passed quickly. After a teaching career in Florida and raising two sons, I was finally able to return to the art world with vigor. Katherine Liu Chang encouraged my Abstract path, and it soon became my passion. In 2010 I met my mentor Frits van Eeden in Melbourne, Florida. He encouraged and guided my artistic growth in the right direction. Many tropical images, flowers, and some abstracts were created during that time. Other mentors followed from New Mexico, Florida, Massachusetts, and Missouri. The environment I live in, the places I go to, they all carry inspirational power over me. I just love diving into gorgeous colors with a big paintbrush or palette knife. It is satisfying slopping it directly onto the large canvas and starting to play. The best outcome always comes from an emotional place, when my brain gets turned off and my heart on. It’s like being led by a power outside me if I allow it in. I draw my inspirations from a plethora of images from nature. Also, other artists like Cezanne, Monet, O’Keeffe, Macke, Rothko, and Richter to name just a few have inspired me. And of course the color!"

Meike's current style showcases brightly colored, large abstract and mixed media paintings, in which she fuses organic with geometric elements. Come out and witness her beautiful art work at the upcoming Open House.
