Meredith Mizell is a mixed media artist creating botanical art inspired by the seasonal cycles and natural landscapes of Upstate South Carolina and the Southern Appalachians. She holds a BFA in graphic design from Auburn University and has attended classes at the John C. Campbell Folk School, Penland School of Craft, and the Greenville Center for Creative Arts. Her experiences growing up in a family of gardeners led her to study traditional herbalism and the cultivation and ecology of native plants at herb schools throughout the Southeast. Her work centers around utilizing the interplay of light and shadow to create dreamlike images that invite curiosity and introspection.
