Meam Hartshorn was born and raised in Grand Junction, a small city in western Colorado where the landscapes and rich geologic history inspire much of her artwork. She graduated from Kenyon College with B.A. in Studio Art and Psychology, where she received Awards of Distinction from both departments and was awarded the Robert H. Hallstein Memorial Award in Art. Meam currently lives and works in Austin, Texas where she has exhibited with Sab Gallery, The Affordable Art Fair, Big Medium and more. Landscapes and cycles in nature inspire her work, which aims to bridge internal emotional experiences with those reflected in nature. Alongside her art practice, Meam is working her Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Texas in Austin, where she combines her artistic background and love of nature to explore alternative and decolonized approaches to mental health care.
