Meredith O'Neal is an artist local to Houston, Texas. She creates oil and watercolor paintings of subjects found in nature, as well as expressive representations of the human form. She offers fine prints and stationary of her original paintings. About me: My artistic passion for painting started when I was in my first year of college. I was always going to major in art (drawing at the time), but paint seemed so intimidating to me. I took a summer painting class and fell in love with the lush way of oil paints....the movement and colors. Things became pretty clear to me after that. I knew this would be my passion and lifelong career. I received my undergraduate degree at Texas State University in both Painting and Photography. I then moved to California and received a masters degree in painting at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2012. I have since moved back to Texas where I now live and work near Houston, TX as a full time artist with my husband and two young children. We enjoy spending as much time as we can on our ranch property in Huntsville, Texas. It is there that I find a lot of my artistic inspiration and can often be found on nature walks exploring the grounds, observing wildlife, and collecting old cow bones and plants.
