Meryl was born and raised in the Bay Area, California and has traveled extensively throughout the United States. Her interests lie in the arts, social issues and urban rehabilitation. These interests firmly influence all the artistic endeavors she tries her hand at, whether it be graphic design, ceramics, painting, video production, sculpture or interior design. With obsessive compulsive tendencies and a strong desire for balance and symmetry, much of Meryl's art strives to find a happy marriage between visual aesthetics and patterned order.
