Merri Lewis

Merri is a creative soul who finds magic in the act of creating. She is fascinated by the way watercolor flows on paper, acrylics pile up to create rocky terrains, and mixed media art supplies come together in mysterious ways. The reorganization of colors into something new and vibrant brings life to her pages, sparking a sense of wonder and inspiration.

As a child, Merri's love for experimentation led her to discard instructions and explore new possibilities. She was drawn to textures that begged to be touched and enjoyed being creative in various ways, from sewing to painting to writing. Her unique way of thinking and creative approach were evident in her work with children and adults with developmental disabilities and mental illness, where she strived to connect with individuals, especially those with autism, by understanding their perspective and teaching them in meaningful ways.

After raising four beautiful children, including two with autism, Merri rediscovered her passion for creativity through art. Inspired by the beauty of painted work in a bible, she immersed herself in learning different art techniques and found joy in encouraging others through her own creations. Nature, music, children, and the intriguing people she encounters in life serve as sources of inspiration for Merri, who resides in Southern Maine with her family and finds solace in playing with toddlers, walking her beloved Maltipoo, Boomer, exploring nearby woods, and creating art at her tiny desk.

Merri's prints are perfect for adding a touch of creativity and inspiration to any home or office decor. Each piece reflects her unique perspective and love for art, making them a wonderful addition to any space.
