Artist Bio
Meike is a self-taught painter, specializing in alcohol ink. Originally from Germany, she began painting in earnest, a long-held ambition after relocating to Michigan in 2012.
Fascinated by the bold, energetic art styles of Gerhard Richter and the late Alex Janvier, she began to paint by exploring different media before she settled on alcohol ink as her main medium of expression.
What began as a means of self-expression in new surroundings rapidly became her life's focus and led her to share her passion for alcohol ink.
Meike’s art is shaped by her personal experiences and surroundings. She practices a happy and spontaneous art and expresses her joy, her emotions, and her impulses through nuanced and delicate techniques. Meike pays particular attention to the balance between color and shape, and places joy and curiosity at the center of her work.
