Merri Lewis

Merri is a creator who revels in the magic of bringing colors to life on paper. She finds joy in watching watercolors flow and acrylics pile up to create unique and beautiful landscapes on her canvas. Her love for mixed media art supplies stems from the mysterious ways in which they work together to form something entirely new and captivating. The transformation of colors into something that didn't exist before is what drives her passion for creating.

From a young age, Merri was drawn to experimentation and exploration. She discarded instructions in favor of figuring things out on her own, whether it was through sewing, painting, writing, or making cards and books. Her creativity and unique way of thinking were put to use in her work with individuals with developmental disabilities and mental illness, particularly those with autism. Understanding their perspective and connecting with them through creativity became her mission in life.

After raising four children, two of whom have autism, Merri rediscovered her love for art and writing. Inspired by the beauty of painted work in a bible, she delved into the world of art, learning from other artists and sharing her own creations to encourage and inspire others. Her source of inspiration comes from nature, music, children, and the fascinating individuals she encounters in life. For those looking to add a touch of magic to their home or office decor, Merri's prints are a perfect choice to bring colors and creativity into any space.
