Considering Art Podcast – Meredith Owen, landscape painter
Meredith Owen explores our relationship with nature in her oil paintings. In this episode, she talks about how nature was important in her childhood, studying Fine Art photography, fulfilling a childhood obsession by travelling to Mongolia, how walking informs her art practice, how her landscapes are based on feeling rather than representation, how literature has influenced her work, how she enjoys creating ambiguity in her paintings and what she hopes the viewer will take from her art.
