About the Artist

I’m Meredith Gould, a mixed-media artist living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I studied art and design at Carnegie Mellon, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Parsons School of Design, with additional training in iconography from Vladislav Andreyev and Peter Pearson. I completed Nick Wilton’s (Art2Life) CVP (Creative Visionary Program) in 2025 and 2026. 

After a long detour—earning a Ph.D. in Sociology, working in academia and communications, living in an ashram, writing a dozen books, and getting sober in 1994—I returned to full-time art-making in 2015. My work draws from Jewish and interfaith traditions, nature, and the desert landscape, often with a wink of visual humor.

In 2024, I survived a hemorrhagic stroke that briefly trashed my dominant side. Returning  to the studio, I embraced a “why not?” approach—more joy, more play, more color.

I create mixed media paintings, assemblages, and paper mosaics using everything from heavy-body acrylics to thrifted treasures. My art is for living with, not just looking at. I keep my prices intentionally fair (i.e, low-ish) so original art is within reach for more people.

Visit Etsy Shop for affordable gifts.

Visit Redbubble Shop for stickers, mugs, t-shirts, and it seems that people buy pillows with my Zia art.

Visiting Albuquerque? You'll find painting and assemblage originals at this boutique, Next Best Thing to Being There.
