About

Mel Meo

is a naive (primitive and self trained) artist whose work embodies the peace of Pine Island, Florida which has been her home for 40 years. Her painting is eclectic and exuberant, bursting forth through an astounding variety of mediums and surfaces, always exhibiting the artist's spirituality and sense of humor. Mel often paints from dreams, usually in a series, or a theme that seems to spring from some inner journey pushing her, always towards the mysterious good, or "another beginning," says Mel, "like opening a door."

When someone asked famed artist Robert Rauschenberg if Mel was a local artist, his reply was "no, she's everywhere!" Such is the journey of Art, to Mel's thinking, a living thing sent into the wide world. An outward motion of the soul.
