Arts & Blessings
Gorham, ME
Merri is an artist who finds joy in the magic of creating. She is fascinated by the way watercolors flow on paper, acrylics pile up to create rocky terrains, and mixed media art supplies work together in mysterious ways. Merri is captivated by the colors reorganizing into something new and bringing life to the page.
As a child, Merri loved experimenting and exploring her creativity in various ways. From sewing to painting to writing, she always enjoyed pushing the boundaries and creating without limitations. Her unique way of thinking and creativity were put to use in her work with children and adults with developmental disabilities and mental illness, particularly those with autism.
After raising four beautiful children, two of whom have autism, Merri rediscovered her passion for art. Inspired by beautiful artwork painted on the thin pages of a bible, she delved into learning different art techniques and eventually found her love for encouraging others through her art. She finds inspiration in nature, music, children, and the interesting people she encounters in life.
Merri currently resides in Southern Maine with her family and can be found playing with toddlers in the church nursery, walking her adorable Maltipoo, Boomer, exploring the nearby woods, or creating art in her tiny home studio. Her prints are perfect for adding a touch of creativity to any home or office decor. Embrace the magic of Merri's creations by purchasing her prints today.
