About Meredith O'Neal - Painter and Photographer
Born in Houston, Texas, in 1987.
Obsessed with finger painting at age 3 and later enthralled by paint by numbers at the young age of 10, Meredith was always finding ways to explore her artistic tendencies through paint. A lefty to her very core, she couldn’t get enough of the art classes available in her small hometown of Magnolia, Texas. Immediately following High School, Meredith moved to a town right outside of Austin, Texas, where she received her double BFA in Painting and Photography in 2010 at Texas State University. She had the opportunity to take photography and art history classes in Florence, Italy during the summer of 2009. It was there that she realized her artistic practice was something much more than a hobby, and would be her career, her life, her obsession. After getting accepted into the graduate program at the San Francisco Art Institute, Meredith wasted no time moving to California to continue pursuing and broadening her artistic career. There, she earned her Masters of Fine Arts in Painting in 2012, while gaining incomparable experience through interaction with her peers, working under incredible mentors, and as a teaching assistant for an undergraduate course at SFAI. She has since moved back to Houston, Texas, where she will continue to nurture and explore her artistic career.
