For Meredith Tanzer, art begins with the long time habit of collecting little objects and treasures while being attracted to textures and the abstract qualities of the world around us. Creating something magical from dusty torn photos, advertising, ephemera, and German Glass Glitter are what it’s all about. There are many liberties to take with color, found-objects and materials that transform into mixed media collages and assemblages. Any kind of supply that suits her fancy, even if unconventional can find its way into her work.
She loves to work collaboratively with clients wanting something special.
Meredith Tanzer is fascinated by objects with auras of history and stories to tell. She lives with her fiancée YeVonne; Strawberry the dog and Snickers the cat. She enjoys working in the Arts and LGBTQ Community. Working with young people has always been a passion and bringing them a connection to the arts is one of her most proud accomplishments.
Cupcakes represent goodness and a time in life when things were less than hectic and based around innocence and love. It’s important that we not lose our feelings of nostalgia, wanting to play, and having respect for ourselves and others.
