about the artist
Artist Annabelle Meacham has led a far‐flung life. Raised in large cities, including London, and widely traveled, she loves that she now lives in Memphis.
Meacham mines an unfettered imagination for her meticulously rendered surreal narrative images of animals and human beings that communicate in ways revealing the realities of the unconscious mind’s playful, dream‐like state. “Some of the surrealist painters were trying to find an impossible reality in the subconscious, something to shock,” said Meacham. “In my work, I want to turn unconscious thoughts into a possible reality. A dream, something I see out of the corner of my eye that looks one way but turns out to be different: I keep all those things in mind.”
