Meg Wallace

Meg Wallace is an interdisciplinary artist who resides in Miami. Wallace’s new body of work contemplates the natural rhythms and forms of the mangrove forests surrounding the Deering Estate and much of the South Florida coastline. Taking cues from the lyrical lines of mangrove stems and branches, Wallace creates hypnotic and enthralling paintings in vibrant hues and gold leaf that capture the energy and spirituality of nature. In her photographic series, Wallace casts local doula Sheila Simms-Watson as the “mother,” an eternal figure of love, strength and symbol of refuge within the landscape of the mangroves.
