ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2019 Submission

Meredith is a figurative artist with a crisp modern style. She works primarily in acrylic. It was the now famous quote by Martin Buber, ""An animal's eyes speak a great language"", and the deep connection she felt with animals, that influenced Meredith's early interest in pet portraiture.

Inspired by the good work of advocacy groups such as CAPA - the Child Abuse Prevention Association, Save the Chimps, The Jane Goodall Foundation - Center for Great Apes and the Nonhuman Rights Project, Meredith's work is intended to raise awareness that we each, as sentient persons, bear a responsibility to value and protect the welfare of all beings. ""My work is a vehicle through which I wish to create a 'chain of empathy'. Linking subject to artist, artist to canvas, canvas to viewer, and ultimately, from the viewer beyond the art itself. Projecting emotion in a more tangible and accessible way, mirroring feelings and inspiring personal reflection.""
