Mel Meo is a naïve (primitive, untrained) artist whose work personifies the peace of Pine Island, Florida, her home for thirty years.  Her painting is eclectic and exuberant, bursting forth through an astounding variety of mediums and surfaces, and always exhibiting the artist’s spirituality, and sense of humor.  Mel often paints from dreams, usually in a series, or a theme that seems to spring from some inner journey pushing her, always, toward the mysterious good, or “another beginning,” says Mel, “like opening a door.”

            When someone asked famed artist Robert Rauschenberg  if Mel was a local artist, his reply was “No, she’s everywhere.”  Such is the journey of Art, to Mel’s thinking, a living thing sent into the wide world.  An outward motion of the soul.

            Mel Meo’s work can be seen at Pine Bay Gallery in Matlacha, Florida.  Also, here online at MelMeo.com  and at www.pinebaygallery.com.
