Meredith Moles is a visual artist interested in perception, space, and location.

Meredith’s work features paintings in gouache and casein, and urban sketches in watercolor and ink. Her stairway series follows the tradition of David Hockney in exploring how to express the perceived, four-dimensional environment on a two-dimensional surface. Much of her work explores the joys of life in the San Francisco Bay Area, with its hills, parks, coffee shops, breweries, and quirky/charming/gritty/fascinating neighborhoods. A sense of playfulness and fun runs through her work.
