MY NAME IS MEREDITH.

I am an artist.

I am creating something every day of my life—whether it be a meal with little bits-and-bobs of color/flavor, a painting of blossoming flowers and textures, a photorealistic portrait drawing, a geometric quilt with which to snuggle and read books to my children, or a total rearrangement of my whole house. When I’m creating, I feel such liveliness and energy. But THEN, when I am able to create something to share, something to bring light to someone around me, that is when I am invigorated and motivated to keep going. We were meant to make, create, and enliven the world around us. We were meant to nurture the gifts in our hands. SO here I hope to offer some inspiration for you to do just that.

I hope this is a place where you are inspired to hang some art on your walls, put delicious food on your table, and most of all share that beauty with your neighbors. Opening the front door, gathering together, and loving the people right in front of us are joyful endeavors, and efforts not lost. “Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.” My home, my table, and the people I welcome into it are simple starting points for nurturing life.

I find that though not always ideal, life is full of beauty.  I believe that all good things are the result of a good Creator and thus I see beauty in imperfection and real life.  I love light and reflections, whether I see it in a person’s eyes, or in the glass of a window, or even when it bounces around the leaves in the woods.  Light shines in darkness and isn’t overcome by it.  I choose to see the light in all of my work. 

Welcome. This is Little House in the Jersey. Grab a warm drink and have a look around.
