About the Artist
|
Meredith Cawley is a multimedia artist whose work has been described as “candy-coated medicine”—appealing and approachable, yet resonant with deeper truths that take root over time. Her current line of inquiry focuses on how cultural opinions represent, shape, and affect the bear as a symbol of resilience and displacement. Her 10 years as an outreach educator at the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History inspire, inform, and drive her practice.
Cawley earned her MFA from the University of Houston in 2016 and her BFA from Sam Houston State University in 2012. Recent projects include No Vacancies, a solo show exploring themes of absence and presence, participation in 150 Years / 150 Artists at Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, and the installation In Conversation with Tait’s "In a Tight Fix" at Box 13 Window Space in Houston, Texas. She is currently a fellow with UNT’s Special Collections, where she is delving into the archive of conspiracy theorist Jim Marrs.
