About Merrie

Merrie is an accomplished mixed media artist from Arizona, whose work is deeply rooted in themes of love and connection. After working with children for 25 years—fourteen of which teaching elementary art— Merrie retired from teaching and embraced her lifelong passion for art, refining her skills and vision.

Merrie's artistic process is inspired by her belief in the intricate and divine connections between all things. Her work is characterized by abstract mark-making, layered collage, vibrant colors, and the strategic use of light, creating pieces that resonate with both depth and spirituality.

Her paintings often explore the theme of love in various forms—whether it’s the bond between individuals, the connection with God, or the relationship with nature. Merrie's art is more than a visual experience; it is an expression of her reverence for life, often featuring people, animals, flowers, and landscapes as acts of devotion and prayer.

Today, Merrie works full-time from her home studio, surrounded by the inspiring vistas of Arizona's desert mountains. She enjoys spending time with her husband and their growing family, all while continuing to produce art that touches the heart and soul.

 

”God’s love is insurmountable in the world around us. I enjoy revealing His love and beauty.” Blessings, Merrie
