Merri is a creative soul who finds joy in the magic of creating. Whether it's watching watercolors flow on paper or acrylics forming rocky terrains, she revels in the colors reorganizing into something new and vibrant. As a child, Merri loved experimenting and being creative in various ways, from sewing to painting to writing. Her unique way of thinking was put to good use in her work with individuals with developmental disabilities and mental illness, particularly those with autism, as she sought to connect with them on their level.
After raising four children, two of whom have autism, Merri rediscovered her passion for writing through her blog about parenting children with autism. As her kids grew older, she gravitated towards art as a form of self-expression. Inspired by the intricate work she saw painted on the pages of a bible, she immersed herself in learning different art techniques and styles. Through her art, Merri found a way to encourage and inspire others, believing that everyone sees what God means for them to see in her creations.
Living in Southern Maine with her family, Merri finds inspiration in nature, music, children, and the interesting people she encounters in life. Whether she's playing with toddlers at her church, walking her adorable Maltipoo, Boomer, or exploring the nearby woods, Merri's creative spirit shines through in everything she does. Her prints are a beautiful addition to any home or office, bringing a touch of magic and inspiration to any space.
