Meredith Howse

Award winning professional Australian Artist Meredith Howse was born in the Northern Territory of Australia. Meredith spent a idyllic childhood exploring and roaming around N.S.W country towns. A graduate from the University of Technology, Sydney, who has travelled through Asia, Europe, America and Canada. Meredith now resides in Queensland. Meredith uses professional artist quality Winsor and Newton and Golden Paint on oil and acrylic colours. In 2016 Meredith set out to follow the Brisbane River from its beginnings at Mt Stanley to the end at Moreton Bay, the result was a successful exhibition of 30 paintings. In 2018, Meredith exhibited 90 works in a solo exhibition called Sublime Landscape at Lockyer Valley Regional Gallery, Queensland. "Inspired by the beauty of landscape worldwide, I try to give the landscape paintings a dramatic feel, drawing the viewer into the painting. I want you to feel you are within the painting and feel the cool depths, the power charge of a incoming storm, the warmth of the sun, or the salt in the ocean air".
In 2020 Meredith created the Opalescent series of abstract paintings inspired by her childhood fascination with the colour and opalescence of Australian Opals. Meredith coined the words 'Australian Freestyle' to describe her painting style. Large, free flowing brushstrokes on large canvas, full of movement and feeling.
