Luce Ends

Meredith discovered her love of illustration while studying as a Graphic Designer at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario. Although a passionate maker of art and craft throughout her childhood and teens, Meredith's time at college established her drive to become a professional artist. Since graduating, she has continued independent studies with artists in the Ottawa region. Meredith works in a variety of media including linocut, silkscreen, acrylic paint, clay, and — most recently — watercolour with pen and ink. Meredith's work is heavily influenced by her passion for environmental stewardship. At her home in Kemptville, Ontario, she is surrounded by fields, wetlands, and forests. Here, she observes the daily and seasonal patterns of plants, birds, and wildlife that populate nearby ecosystems. Meredith's most recent exhibition, Forest Guardians, highlights Ontario and Canadian wildlife, encouraging viewers to build more personal connections with these keystones in the regional biosphere.
