Artist Bio
Meredith Howse, an accomplished artist known for her landscape paintings, captivates viewers with the dramatic atmosphere and immersive quality of her artworks. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of landscapes, Howse skilfully incorporates cool depths, the impending charge of an approaching storm, the warmth of the sun, and the salty feel of ocean air into her pieces. Through her abstract works, she skilfully employs colours and textures symbolic of the natural world.
Born in the Northern Territory of Australia, Meredith Howse spent her formative years exploring the NSW country towns that shaped her upbringing. After completing her education at the University of Technology Sydney, Howse embarked on extensive travels across Europe, the United States, Asia, and Canada.
